Chinese New Year Dragon Craft and Snack

By

Chinese Dragon Muffin Tin Lunch for Kids
Today we are celebrating the Chinese New Year! It is the year of the dragon! I thought it would be fun to create a dragon lunch for JDaniel. Rather than make a scary dragon I made a fun dragon for his lunch. After sharing the lunch I made I will share some fun Chinese New Year dragon craft ideas you will just love.

Chinese Dragon Snack

We had such fun dyeing beige tortilla neon green and cutting them out with cookie cutters for this meal. If you prefer you can create the dragon using a spinach tortilla. It would eliminate the need to dye the beige tortilla and give your kids a vegetable serving too.

The dragon has a ham inner mouth and carrot tongue.The dragon’s eyes are black olives with corn pupils. I am not sure most dragons have crests on their heads, but this one has an American cheese crest.

Yes, that makes this ham and cheese sandwich with a few vegetables. JDaniel loves ham and cheese right now. This was a fun way to serve him some of his favorite foods.

Since New Year’s is usually celebrated with fireworks, I gave JDaniel red grape, red strawberry, and red grape tomato fireworks to have with his dragon.

Chinese New Year Dragon Craft Ideas

After creating a fun dragon snack or lunch, your kids will have fun selecting one of these dragon craft ideas.

  9. That is an adorable dragon!!

    Thank you for highlighting Chinese New Year, I happen to celebrate it 🙂

  19. It’s sooooo cute and clever!!! I would love to eat some Chinese food right now…but I’m having some health issues that prevent me from eating too much fried/spicy food. So I guess we won’t be celebrating CNY this year.

  20. My girls would LOVE this! Their favorite stuffed animals that they have had since they were tiny are dragons. I’ll have to do this one weekend for them. Thanks for the idea and Happy Chinese New Year!

  24. Oh my goodness how cute is that! I love it! You are so creative! My kids would love that! 🙂

  26. I love these muffin tin meals – so very creative!! I’m going to have to try making some of these 🙂

  39. Love the dragon and I’m SOOOOOO glad I’m looking at this when I’m not at home so John doesn’t see it! I’d have to figure out how to do it for him, too! (I made the mistake of telling him they celebrate for 15 days. I’m hoping I might get away with only making 2 lunches for it.)

  40. How fun! You know, I didn’t even think about Chinese New Year. 🙁 Will have to correct that.

  44. oh my! That is the cutest thing! Just when I think you’ve maxed out the creative ideas, you prove that you have an unlimited supply!!!

  47. You are so creative!! You will be my inspiration when I’m home more and do things like this!

  49. You are too much. seriously! you spent the time and effort to die tortillas green?

    You deserve “mom of the year”.

  53. Very cute! I am looking for another idea for Chinese New Year right now and I might do this! (Got to leave in 45 mins, so I better get on it!) I’ve done several CNY bentos this past week.

  56. Oh he’s darling. I can’t believe how creative you are. Very fun. Can’t wait to see what you make next.
