China Kit Arrives!

The kids got their China Kit today and just had to open it (I really thought we would wait until we were studying China, but the package was SO inticing!) So here are all the neat things we got.

Money, a China flag, a paper lantern, bookmark, postcards, a coin, a knot, a red scarf, a red envelope, and some stamps. She also sent a pamphlet telling us all about all the goodies and some of their traditions.

Another thing we got in the mail last week was a Highlights Club "Top Secret Adventures" kit. It's a "secret-agent themed book club." Our first kit was Australia, and Greece is on the way. The kit is really cute. You get a little Passport (for your country stamps) plus the stamps, a GREAT wall world map, a puzzle, a "Case File" with lots of games and a 30-page softcover book about Australia.

Each kit will come with the same items (minus the map and Passport, I guess, since we only need one of those). The first kit was free (shipping costs $3.45) and other kits are $13.95+$3.45 shipping. If you prepay you can choose the countries, otherwise, they are randomly sent every 6 weeks.
