"After Laba is the year", how to make children have an interesting Laba Festival? These things are indispensable.

Introduction: Laba Festival is a traditional festival in China. In fact, it is the first festival of the twelfth lunar month. There are many stories and folk songs about Laba Festival, such as "Don't be greedy for children, it's the year after Laba Festival"! On Laba Festival, people usually drink a bowl of hot Laba porridge to look forward to spending the cold winter and welcoming the warmth of spring. Relatively speaking, Laba Festival seems to be less eye-catching in many traditional festivals in China, but this does not prevent parents from making Laba Festival interesting.

A few days ago, before Laba Festival, my colleague Jason had already started preparing to cook Laba porridge. A colleague teased Jason and said, "Is Laba Festival a long time? We in China are good at turning all festivals into food festivals! " Jason said with a smile: "This is not to make my daughter's Laba Festival a bit interesting!"

It turns out that Jason became particularly "ceremonial" after her daughter was born. In order to let her daughter experience the festive atmosphere better, every festival will be carefully prepared. So, although Jason's daughter just went to kindergarten, these days, the little guy has learned to hum the nursery rhyme "Don't be greedy, it's the year after Laba".

On the weekend, Zhang Jie took her daughter to the supermarket to buy the ingredients of Laba porridge, and took the little guy to know the whole grains. Jason also found it interesting to see her daughter's cheerful appearance. "When we have cooked Laba porridge, we will bring the company to give you a taste!"

After listening to Jason's words, everyone expressed their feelings. "Zhang Jie's way of taking care of children is great. Now there are always people who complain that they don't have the taste of the year. In fact, it is because everyone is too lazy! Just let the children feel the charm of traditional culture! " Some colleagues echoed, "I'm from the south. I really didn't know much about Laba Festival before. I didn't know until I participated in kindergarten activities for the first time! "

Thing 1: Boil Laba porridge

Laba porridge is usually made of rice, some grains and dried fruits. Due to the different types of grains produced in different regions, the ingredients are also different.

Laba porridge in most parts of northern China is made of beans such as rice, millet, glutinous rice, sorghum rice, red beans, soybeans and kidney beans, and dried fruits such as red dates, peanuts and walnuts. In some places, purple rice, barley, mung beans, raisins, longan, almonds and other ingredients will be added.

Although a bowl of Laba porridge looks ordinary, it is rich in ingredients, and the cooked Laba porridge is full of flavor and very delicious. Parents can learn to identify whole grains when preparing laba porridge ingredients with their children, which is not only an appropriate opportunity for "popular science", but also helps children accumulate knowledge.

Thing 2: Pickled garlic

Laba garlic is also a common accompaniment to Laba Festival. Laba porridge is easier to make than Laba garlic. People usually soak peeled garlic cloves in vinegar on Laba Festival and then seal them in the shade for a period of time.

The color of garlic cloves soaked in vinegar will change gradually from white to bright green. The whole waiting process is very interesting, as if it were a small scientific experiment, and children who can participate in it will naturally gain a joy.

Thing 3: Read Laba nursery rhymes.

Laba Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China. In ancient times, children would hum interesting nursery rhymes on Laba Festival. If parents can collect them carefully, the process of learning to sing nursery rhymes with their children is also very interesting.

"Laba porridge in a few days, Ber Ber will be 23 ..." The catchy nursery rhymes make children feel very interesting, and at the same time stimulate their sense of expectation for the new year.

Festivals are an indispensable ceremony in life, and parents who take festivals seriously will certainly have a good time.

First of all, understand the historical heritage behind the festival.

Most traditional festivals in China have a history of hundreds of years. Parents take their children to explore the origin of festivals, so that children can understand the connotation of festivals more deeply and be influenced by traditional culture. Every historical story not only brings children a novel experience with different feelings, but also shows them the interesting side of traditional culture.

Second: Participate in the festival-related preparatory activities.

In the process of preparing for the festival, children can get an immersive participation experience, and at the same time get more sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Whether cooking together or preparing holiday costumes together, every careful preparation enriches children's holiday memories and deepens their holiday impressions.

Tips: In the process of preparing for the festival, children's practical ability and creativity have also been demonstrated and exercised.

Third: enrich the types of festival activities as much as possible.

Many parents think of eating a big meal or taking their children out for a day when they mention festivals, but obviously this way of celebrating festivals is very lacking in creativity. Even with the company of parents, children will feel a little less enjoyable. In fact, parents can update the way of festivals in time, so that children can have a sense of expectation and really have fun.

Spending holidays with children is not just about going out to eat and drink, or giving them a holiday gift. Everyone prepares for the festival together, and preparing gifts for each other can enhance children's holiday experience.

Laba Festival is a very interesting traditional festival. Although it is not a legal holiday, parents still have to take time to spend a delicious Laba Festival with their children. As the saying goes, "Pull up Bala and freeze your chin", and the weather will get colder every day after Bala Festival. Parents should also pay attention to keep their children warm after the holiday and add clothes in time to avoid catching a cold.
