New year’s eve is special for not one but two reasons.
One, to welcome the brand new year and its promises but equally importantly, to thank the current year for all the joys and experiences it brought along.
To educate our child about the special aspects of the new year eve, we made this rotating new year paper plate craft.
We want to make sure they develop gratitude for what they have as much as they look forward to the new things the next year will bring along.
So, when the fireworks go off this year, remember to celebrate both the special occasions!
Thank you 2018 and Welcome 2019!
