With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, which traditions should be taught to babies? Why?

Besides telling your child the story of "Chang'e Runs to the Moon", eating mooncakes with your family, and watching the moon, there are three other things that I do with my child to let him or her experience the traditional culture of the Mid-Autumn Festival. To create a sense of ritual for your child at the Mid-Autumn Festival. 2022 Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, tell your baby about the traditional culture of the Mid-Autumn Festival, enjoy the moon, eat mooncakes, go to the lantern fair, guess the riddles, and experience all of them, and then finish with a song called "Song of Songs in Water" by Su Shi.

First: Tell the Mid-Autumn Festival story

The traditional festival is inseparable from the mythological stories, tell your child about "Chang'e Runs to the Moon", "Wu Gang Falters the Cinnamon", "The Jade Rabbit Pounds Medicine", to give the Mid-Autumn Festival a layer of mysterious color. Discuss the myths with your child. Listen to what your child has to say. You can even connect your child to the story by adapting it. Let your child's imagination run wild.

The second piece: drawing Mid-Autumn paintings, such as: Chang'e, the moon, rabbits

Last year, we drew rabbits with our children on Mid-Autumn. This year, I drew Chang'e and the moon with my child, using the brush to convey the collision of traditional culture and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unlike last year, this year the children not only drew Chang'e with the brush, but also tried to draw the moon with the drawing software. The full moon hanging in the sky is really beautiful.

Third: Mid-Autumn Crafts

Both children in the family are particularly active in doing crafts. Because this year, early for the children to prepare 『 Mid-Autumn craft gift box 』, inside a can light up the rabbit lamp, Mid-Autumn decorations several pieces, and the moon cake storage box ....... The children enjoyed watching the Mid-Autumn crafts, which were full of atmosphere, being carefully picked and glued one by one. Compared with the handmade materials prepared by themselves, the different designs in the Mid-Autumn Festival Handmade Gift Box are really interesting and full of rituals.

For example, the rabbit lamp is carried by the child, and "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival" is reflected in the light on the floor. The baby says "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival" as he walks around the neighborhood. The baby is envied by the neighborhood. Teach your child a few words of good luck for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots.
