February 21, 2007 was the second installment of Briana's Ancient Civilizations series: Ancient China

This time, the activity room was illuminated with red mood lighting, and enchanting Oriental music played in the background

Mrs. Debbie and Mr. Israel assisted with the edible activities

Jasmine, chamomile and chai teas were brewed by Mrs. Debbie

The jasmine tea didn't go over so well

The chai tea was met with much more enthusiasm

The white rice with sesame seeds produced a curious scent, but that did not stop the group from eating six cups of rice by the Dixie-cup-full

The tea and rice were a big hit

Rice that puts a smile on your face!

Everyone worked hard and had fun completing their activity booklets, solving puzzles, and wearing their cute, yellow hardhats -- sometimes moms helped out, too

A bag of prizes awaited those who completed the activities

Buddah even had fun!
