Real Chinese Goodies in the Mail
Welcome to the Learn About China Kit website! I'm Yang Ge from China, and my goal is to help you experience China hands-on with real items mailed from me to you!
Why am I doing this? Well, my good foreign friend Jimmie shared this idea with me. She said that many, many educators and homeschoolers are fascinated with China and love getting postcards or goody packets mailed from my country. I thought that with her help (like writing an English booklet
and helping me create this website) I could fill this desire to learn more about China with real cultural items. This is quite easy for me to do. And since my son is heading to college soon, this is a great way to save some money for his education.
China Learning Kit is a proud sponsor of the 2009 Homeschool Blog Awards.

The China Packet
“As she opened it, she kept saying, 'Is this mine? Can I keep this?”
Testimonials
From Lisa at Lisa's Homeschool Circus: "The first thing that the kids saw as they opened the packet was the real red scarf that children from China wear from ages 6-14. Evie thought it was so neat to hold and wear something that a little girl her age could be wearing right now over there! You could almost feel the world get smaller for her as we talked. Pretty amazing!"

"This was the highlight of our day. I'm putting it away, and we'll be getting it back out this August when we begin studying China in earnest."
Bev G said, "We got our packet today!!! How exciting! My daughter (age 7) loved it. As she opened it, she kept saying, 'Is this mine? Can I keep this? Wow, I got money!' She really enjoyed looking over and playing with everything.
My daughter has been questioning her identity recently so the packet was helpful in reinforcing her Chinese heritage."
Jan, a homeschool mom of two who blogs at Blue Willow Girls says, "My daughters were so excited to get a packet from China. They were adopted from China and we have many books on this subject, but even so they learned a few new tidbits from the written material. Lily, age 11, said, "It is so cool to have a real red scarf since we are about to read 'Red Scarf Girl and have seen them in so many pictures." They both agreed it was a great way for kids to learn about China and were even thrilled with the stamps on the package!"

How to Purchase
Because I'm in China, I can only accept money by Paypal. Click the button to go directly to Paypal.

This link goes to the Chinese Paypal site. It is still Paypal, but you can see in the upper right hand corner a Chinese flag. In that spot you can change the language settings if necessary.
Send US$14 (or its UK or Canadian equivalent) per packet to yangge_china@sina.com.
In the Paypal comments, please include your full mailing address including country. Paypal will send you a message saying that your payment has been initiated. I will accept the payment, and you will get another email when the transaction is complete. Because it is an international transaction, this process can take one to two days. So please be patient.
It will take 2-3 weeks for your package to arrive. If after a full 25 days you have not received it, please email me at yangge_china@sina.com.

- We got our kit this past week, and it's wonderful!! My dd was so excited. She just couldn't believe we had stuff from "actual China"!
Now she's really excited about starting our China lapbook.. granted it's an ANCIENT China lapbook, but just having this stuff has really motivated her to dig in to research.
Well worth it, thanks so much!!
