Creating a Baby-Friendly Chinese New Year Celebration
The Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year is fast approaching! It's a perfect time to cherish happy moments with your family as you celebrate together. This joyous time of the year is meant for special gatherings as you bid farewell to the old year and welcome a new one with hopes for prosperity and luck. Have you made plans on how to celebrate it? Here's some tips on how to celebrate the new year with your little ones.
1. Dress your child in comfortable clothes
- The new year is meant for joyful celebrations. Thus, dress your babies in comfortable clothes for a worry-free celebration. Choose breathable and fuss-free clothes where they can move freely and comfortably without feeling any discomfort and irritation.
2. Use baby-friendly cleaning materials
- Welcoming the new year with a clean home is a must. Nobody would want to celebrate with an unclean surrounding especially when you have little kids roaming around the house. In cleaning your house, make sure to choose cleaning materials that are safe for your little ones. Consider buying organic cleaning materials and avoid ones with a strong distinctive smell that can harm their health.
3. Make DIY firework crafts
- The celebration won't be complete without the use of fireworks but loud noise can be overwhelming which can make your little ones uncomfortable and scared. You might opt to use DIY fireworks or confetti for a more baby-friendly approach. Aside from being safe, it can create a more comfortable new year experience by minimizing noise levels that can irritate your little ones.
4. Play light music
-
Introduce the joy of celebrating the new year to your little ones in a gentle manner. Play light music that will sound gentle and calm to their ears.
4. Prepare some baby-friendly foods
- In preparing for the new year, it's important to be mindful of the foods you are going to serve on your table. Make sure your little ones are included in welcoming the new year by preparing foods they can eat such as steamed vegetables or some soft and nutritious fruits.
