Around the World in 11 Days: South Korea, Japan and China

Week two was South Korea. Kimchi and sweet potatoes are popular foods in South Korea so we substituted sauerkraut for kimchi and ate sweet potato tots. Our craft for this week was paper fans and my boys were most excited to learn that Avengers: Age of Ultron was partially filmed in this country. If you have a super hero fan like me, that's a fun fact to add!



For Japan, an amazing local restaurant donated fried rice, chicken, yaki and sweet carrots for them to try. We made this shape ninja craft modified to be on paper plates and Coke bottle cherry blossom trees. Some people got a little carried away with the paint. ;)




The week we learned about China, we were extra excited because a couple of the kids in our class were adopted from there. Their mommy came and showed us a Chinese bible, clothes, a lantern, a dragon puppet and lots more. This week, a local Chinese restaurant donated egg rolls and fortune cookies for them to try and we learned about Chinese New Year and made this quick Year of the Sheep craft.
