DIY crafts

Let local craftsperson Jessica take you and the kids on a workshop to make your own lipstick, scarf, candle, paint a ukulele and glass, do pottery or tufting and various other crafts. Scan the QR code in the poster to get in touch to join or organize a workshop.

If you're looking for more Christmassy stuff to do this weekend, jingkids has plenty of Christmas initiatives to take part, from our December Drawing contest with the theme "All I Want For Xmas" where kids below 18 can submit an entry to win, to our virtual Christmas carolling activity, and of course, our ongoing Read-a-Story campaign.

You can also ask your kids to write their letter to Santa and head over to China Word Summit to mail it at the big red post box exclusively for letters to Santa!

Also, the Christmas tree market is still in full swing in Shunyi so if you still haven't gotten your tree, there's still time. Whatever you decide to do, just remember to have fun.
