Chinese Vase & Cherry Blossom Craft

Hello Friends, today we had a ton of fun with our Chinese vase & cherry blossom craft. 

Here is how we put these together.

1) We first glued two pieces of construction paper together vertically. 

2) We cut a vase out of white paper and glued it to the bottom of the construction paper. 

3) We researched Chinese vase designs and drew them onto the vase.

4) We then used a brown marker to draw our branches
5) We then hot glued our cherry blossoms. We opted to use red fat beads, red round beads, and little red lids. You can use whatever you have available. I have also seen people dip the bottoms of  2 litter bottles in paint, to get the desired blossom look. 



Enjoy! Leave us a comment below, we would love to know how your craft turned out.

Asia Unit Study - Philippines Resources



Hello Friends, We are still learning all about the different countries of Asia. This unit has proved to be quite the adventure. Today I wanted to share some resources I have found to make a virtual field trip through the Philippines exciting and fun.
Virtual Field Trip to the Philippines

We took our virtual tour of the Philippines using Google Earth. If you don't already have Google Earth you can download it HERE. It has been very useful in learning about Asia. We have had a lot of fun discovering all the new places. Below are a couple more links to tours and photos.

Hello Friends! Yesterday we started a fun new unit on Asia. I have complied a list of resources below that would be great for a study on Asia. A while back we created an Asia continent box. They are easy to make and make great holders for all things related to Asia. Click here to see my post regarding our continent boxes.

The Great Wall of China is a wall that covers much of the northern border of China. If you take the length of the entire wall, plus various branches, it is around 5,500 miles long! No wonder they call it the Great Wall.
