Bowls of oranges are often displayed at Chinese New Year as they are associated with wealth. Children can make their own bowl of oranges with the help of our playdough mat and some orange playdough.
This playdough mat can be enjoyed by older children as well as younger kids. Use the outline of the dragon to mold your own on top, giving him as little or as much detail as you want and making him multi-coloured or plan, stripy or spotty or something in between!
Willow pattern is actually English in origin but was inspired by Chinese pottery. Children can make a Chinese style scene from playdough to decorate this plate.
