Here’s how you can celebrate the Lunar New Year with Bo & Mei
1. Create-Your-Own Lion Dance Masks
The lion dance is a classic Lunar New Year tradition, symbolizing good luck and warding off evil spirits. Our DIY Lion Dance Mask kit comes with two felt mask templates and all the materials you need to assemble and decorate your own colorful masks. This activity not only inspires creativity but also introduces children to the meaning behind this cherished performance art.
2. Calligraphy Wall Hangings
Calligraphy is a timeless Lunar New Year tradition, with beautiful phrases wishing prosperity and happiness for the year ahead. Our calligraphy craft kits include everything you need to trace and paint your own decorations, from rice paper to traditional brushes and black acrylic paint. Available in Chinese and Vietnamese, these kits make it easy to adorn your home with meaningful artwork.
3. Games for Family Fun
Games are at the heart of any Lunar New Year gathering! Our Chinese Zodiac puzzle and memory match game are perfect for teaching kids about the 12 animals of the zodiac while engaging the whole family in some lighthearted fun. These games spark curiosity and conversation about cultural symbols and stories.
4. Lucky Red Envelopes
No Lunar New Year is complete without exchanging red envelopes, symbolizing good luck and blessings. Bo & Mei’s craft kit lets kids easily design their own envelopes, adding a personal touch to this beloved tradition.
A personal message from Bo & Mei
Growing up caught between two cultures, I often struggled to embrace my heritage while fitting into American life. But as a parent, I saw the importance of fostering pride and connection to one’s identity, not just for my children but for all families navigating the balance between tradition and modern life.
Bo & Mei (named after my daughters) was born from my desire to write a different narrative for my kids and the next generations of Asian children growing up in the diaspora. Our mission is simple: create products that make cultural exploration both fun and meaningful for modern families. Through contemporary puzzles, games, and hands-on activities, we help families celebrate their heritage while discovering global cultures, empowering children to embrace their identities and build a more inclusive world.
One of our favorite times of the year is the Lunar New Year. This vibrant holiday—filled with food, family, and festivity—marks a perfect opportunity to celebrate culture, tradition, and togetherness. I’m so excited to share the activities my family loves with other families looking for fun, creative, and accessible ways to celebrate this special occasion.
We hope you’ll join us this Lunar New Year in celebrating the past while shaping a brighter, more inclusive future. Together, we can inspire the next generation to take pride in their heritage and appreciate the beauty of diversity.
Wishing you and your family a prosperous and joyful Lunar New Year! Visit us at Bo & Mei to explore our Lunar New Year collection.
