The 2022 school year kicked off with celebrations for Lunar New Year around the country, marked by our newest art resource created by Illustrator and Educator Freda Chiu.
The activity is designed for students from Foundation to Year 8, where they can use their own arts and craft skills to create their unique lucky charm inspired by the Year of the Tiger using our step-by-step guides.
The charms are a sign in Asian culture to ward off bad spirits and bring good luck by displaying it typically at the front of your home – but you can display in your classroom or office too!
