Guide your child to observe and explore the gift of the world around them through their knowledge of Chinese characters!
Focusing on a child’s daily life, we selected 36 commonly used Chinese characters, and made them into lively and cute oracle bones to illustrate the earliest origin, structural, and cultural connotations of Chinese characters. Then it will be fun making flat Chinese characters come alive by making a DIY seal. These will be used as a theme to create a picture book by encouraging the child to use their imagination and to turn a single Chinese character an oracle bone story.
