Folding activities develop motor skills and engage the senses. Folding skills are also employed in creative activities. One such activity is the Paper Lantern craftwork. This paper folding activity lends itself to various extensions in the Montessori preschool. Following the child’s interest, a range of cultural activities can be planned, for example, to encourage the child to explore and appreciate the various aspects of the world that he or she lives in.

Lanterns for Chinese New Year

The paper lantern project ties up nicely with Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, which is a fifteen-day celebration marking the start of the Chinese lunar calendar, usually in January or February. The Lantern Festival marks the end of the New Year festivities. On this fifteenth night, when the full moon is first sighted for the year, brightly lit lanterns add to the festivities.
