7.Sing Happy Birthday to your dog. The second day of the Chinese New Year is 　19　 the birthday of all dogs. Why not 　20　 your child to throw Fido a birthday celebration? Perhaps an extra ride in the car or new chew toy is in order? I know my dog would appreciate a few extra belly rubs too.

6.Make some noise. Just like in America, the Chinese use 　16　 in ringing in their New Year. In the Chinese culture it began as a way to 　17　 　away any demons(鬼) that threaten to bring a profitable and lucky New Year, but today it's also about excitement and 　18　 . Consider setting off a few firecrackers of your own, if allowed in your area. If not, make a cute firework picture with a bit of glitter and glue. A pretend firecracker is another great craft that could also be considered a festive way to decorate your New Year table.
