Activity Download: Mulan Phoenix Packet
Ages 5-11
I created seven new projects inspired by Disney’s Mulan, and they’re pretty cool, I have to admit.
When I saw the Disney live action film Mulan, I absolutely fell in love with the phoenix—its meaning, its colors, its magic. I started putting together a small craft activity and before I knew it, the project had evolved into a pretty sizable craft packet.
This digital packet is available to purchase in my shop!
PACK CONTENTS:
1 pattern for phoenix puppet
2 patterns for food bucket and “phoenix phood”
1 pattern for Chinese lantern
“official” phoenix license
Chinese cloud practice
memory game
“Felix the Phoenix Needs a Kleenex” picture game
(It should come as no surprise that I feel that “Felix the Phoenix Needs a Kleenex” is perhaps the greatest creation of my career.)
