Ni Hao ? Hello to a New Friend!

Appropriately released in celebration of the Chinese New Year, Nick Jr. will be premiering new series Ni Hao, Kai-lan on February 7 at 11:00 a.m.

Nickolodeon?s site describes Ni Hao as ?a play-along, think-along series? set to infuse your household with Chinese language and culture. Pre-school friendly stories will be brought to you by Kai-lan, the almost 6-year-old Chinese-American and her bilingual animal friends. Interactive...Kai-lan needs your help to solve the dilemmas she and her friends uncover everyday.

To get ready for the show and to celebrate the Chinese New Year, try out these Nick Jr. crafts that are easy and fun to make.
