Comments from last year's participants ：
◎I had an experience that I cannot have at home. My children enjoyed it.
◎The children were able to understand how the people who make the rice feel and how hard it is to make rice when they eat it. They started to eat rice without leaving any leftovers.

Authentic decorations for the New Year ：
Let's make authentic decorations like those sold in stores by ourselves ！ The key to making beautiful decorations is in the straw （ straw ）.
