Where Does Cinnamon Come From?
None of the desserts we love would taste as good without cinnamon. But where does this yummy spice come from?
Cinnamon comes from a tree that is native to the south of India and happens to be one of the oldest used spices around. Cinnamon is taken from the bark of this tree.
Besides being good to eat, it turns out that cinnamon is also good for you. Hot milk and cinnamon will help you sleep. It also helps with digestion, so eating some cinnamon after a big meal will help you digest your food.
Have you ever burned your tongue because you drank something that was too hot? Well next time just put a bit of cinnamon on the burn and let its calming effects take over as it helps to renew burned cells.
How Do You Care For A Guinea Pig?
The Guinea Pig is one of the most friendly and sweetest animals that a person can adopt.
Unlike the hamster, Guinea Pigs do not bite when they feel threatened, instead they become paralyzed and don’t move. They never attack.
The first few days that you have a Guinea Pig in your house can be a bit stressful for the animal and when you approach it, it will run the other way. But wait a bit, little by little the Guinea Pig will begin to trust you.
To begin winning its trust pet your Guinea Pig often. It will like it and to show you that it does, it will purr and even jump a bit. Don’t worry if you see the Guinea Pig running around and jumping like it is having an attack. This is normal and it is the way that they release energy.
Guinea Pigs need a lot of space. So if you adopt one then make sure the cage you get is spacious. Guinea Pigs are not climbers and they are a bit clumsy if anything, so make sure not to fill their cages with wheels and toys. What they do like are tunnels and space to burrow, so you could provide them with these.
And what does a Guinea Pig eat? You can buy special pellets for it at the pet store. Guinea Pigs also nee a lot of vitamin C, so make sure to give it sweet peppers and a variety of fruits throughout the week. For example: Monday – oranges, Tuesday – tomato, Wednesday – carrots, Thursday – banana, Friday – apple, Saturday – fresh spinach and on Sunday- kiwi.

You might need to use tools that require adult supervision, such as glue gun and scissors. If so, these can be replaced by textile glue and safety scissors. Make sure you ask your parents some help.
Make this pretty Chinese fan is made from construction paper and paint stamps. It will make a great accent to your Chinese New Year celebration!
What you’ll need:
- 3 sheets red construction paper
- Decorative foam stamps (we chose a swirl and an orange slice)
- Gold acrylic paint
- Paint brush
- Glue stick
- 2 gold chenille stems
- 1 red chenille stem
- 2 gold jumbo craft sticks (optional)
How to make it:
- Decorate the red paper with gold painted foam stamps. We chose a swirl design as well as an orange. Oranges are symbolic of wealth in Chinese culture. Paint the foam stamps with gold paint and press onto the paper. Let dry completely. (Picture #1)
- Use a glue stick to attach all three decorated sheets together, end to end lengthwise.
- Fold red paper accordion style, making the pleats about 1″ wide. (Picture #2)
- Gather all the pleats together and then hold firmly at one end. (Picture #3)
- Wrap chenille stems around the end that you are holding to form the handle. Begin with gold chenille, then add red, and finish with gold. (Picture #4)
- This step is optional, but if you prefer a longer handle, you can insert two jumbo craft sticks up inside the gathered handle. Squeeze a little glue into the opening to secure the sticks. Let dry. You can also paint the craft sticks gold or red.
Tips:
- The color red is very prominent in Chinese New Year symbols and decorations. It is believed that red will scare away evil spirits and drive away bad fortune.
- Gold represents prosperity.
- Fans are a popular item in China dating back over 2,300 years!
