In Chinese tradition it\u2019s believed that the year we are born in affects our personality as we take on some of the animal\u2019s traits from that particular year. For example, people born in the year of the Dragon are said to be brave, energetic and warm hearted, and those born in the year of the snake are said to be quiet, agile and wise.<\/p>\n

Kids can enjoy making a Dragon Cootie Catcher to celebrate 2024 which is the year of the dragon. Or perhaps they\u2019d like to make the animal from their own year of birth, or maybe they\u2019d like to make all 12!<\/p>\n
