Children's Day in China today

June 1 is Children's Day in China. Kids have programs, wear their Chinese dresses and generally have fun on this day.

Shops in China also give away free stuff for the children to enjoy on this day.

EliteDresses gives free stuff away all year round for kids, not just during Children's Day.

Kids will like the free, printable coloring pictures of a girls Chinese dress, or girls ao dai, for those interested in Vietnamese themed pictures. There are also lots of flower girl pictures that your child will enjoy coloring. If your child wants to see more Chinese culture coloring pictures, our sister company ChildBook has more free interesting stuff besides coloring pictures.

Here are some sample pictures:






Even if Children's Day is a Chinese holiday, celebrate it with your kids not only to expand their awareness of other cultures, but also to affirm to them again that they are important and special.

PS. if you want other mini-celebrations/ excuses to have fun for the day, it's also Donut day and Oscar the Grouch's birthday. I hope they know Oscar the Grouch. My 10 year old niece doesn't anymore. Sigh.

China Will Celebrate Children's Day Tomorrow

Do you think children really deserve to have a day especially for them? We often see children as the 'protected' ones and isn't it everyday is Children's Day for them? I mean, they don't even cook their own food and wash their own clothes, right? But come to think of it, they very well deserve a day especially dedicated to them because they will only be children once in their lives. The later years, they will be faced with enormous circumstances that comes with being an adult.
In China, they know this very well that's why June 1 was appointed to be a holiday especially for children. The Chinese government celebrates the day with fun festivities both for children and adults. The children wear traditional Chinese dresses and perform traditional dances infront of their proud parents. Model students are also honored at this event, encouraging others to follow their footsteps.

For a much deeper thought, civic organizations launch Child Awareness programs at this event to strengthen child welfare. Which I think is the most important aspect of this celebration.

Chinese Wonder Girl

Because Chinese Children's Day is on Monday, I will dedicate this weekend's post for Chinese children.

Here's a video of a Chinese girl that shows exemplary performance in Cirque de Soliel


Isn't she amazing? She should be so light for that stick to hold her, noh?

Happy Children's Day everyone! Please pass a hug and a kiss to your kids. :)

What comes after Dragon Boat Festival?- China's Children's Day!

Children's Day celebration

Some might be familiar with the Chinese holiday, Children's Day and some might not. It's celebrated every 1st month of June and it's one of the most important day for Chinese children. Apparently, the kids enjoy a day of free entrance on cinemas, amusement parks, museums, and palaces. Elementary schools throw parties for their students too and on top of all that, parents shower their kids with presents! I bet it feels like Chirstmas all over again!

China's not the only country that celebrates Children's Day. Korea and Japan celebrates theirs every May 5th. In India it's every November 14th, Taiwan helds theirs every 4th of April, New Zealand every 1st of March, Indonesia is every 26th of September and New York will have a celebration on June 13.

In line with the celebration, keep on peeking at our store, EliteDresses, for affordable gifts you can give your daughter :) and maybe just maybe you get to have a treat (you'll never know when it's gonna be).
