2020 is the Year of the Rat! So it’s only fair that we celebrate the Chinese New Year with some awesome Rat Crafts for Kids!

Over here at Artsy Craftsy Mom, we just love learning about different cultures. Not only is it immensely interesting, but it also gives us lots of new reasons to celebrate!

That’s just one of the reasons we love Chinese New Year; it comes at the perfect time, just when the other New Year celebrations are wearing off. The Chinese zodiac has a different animal associated with each year, and this only makes it all the more fun to celebrate.

For 2020, 25th January is the Chinese New Year and this is the Year of the Rat, which is the first animal in the Chinese zodiac. Rats are considered symbols of wealth and abundance in Chinese culture. So let’s join in and begin the celebrations this New Year with an abundance of rat crafts for kids!
