Hiya, there are so many suggestions available, with chinese new year's start date falling on valentines day this year, which is a Sunday you could look at what the colour red means within the two celebrations ..

Red hearts & red for good fortune - envelopes .. how about asking the older children to soak some 2p's in vinegar to see them become cleaner? dry, shine & put into some red paper envelopes. Add gold pen embellishments and hand out.

If it helps there's a book list here on silkysteps aimed more at the younger ages - Chinese new year books
