The Lantern Festival takes place on the first full moon after the lunar new year. In this day, kids carry lanterns and stroll around the neighborhood.
When I was little, we carried various homemade lanterns lit up by candles. Lantern making was usually a big school project during the winter break. On the night under the full moon, walking, talking, and playing while keeping the flame away from the lantern shell was quite a challenging task. However, every kid likes to play with fire, and it's exciting to look at a lantern burst into flame- as long as it's not my lantern. After all, we always make new lanterns for a new year.
My goddaughter just started walking, and I brought her a little lantern. Battery charged with a bulb though.
