Why this basket is such a joy

A piglet with big eyes sits in the basket, hugging a spotted horseshoe. Behind it, a smiling clover peeks out, a spotted mushroom with a face stands on the right, and a little ladybug crawls along the front. All the characters have bold outlines and big spaces. The woven basket with its handle has a pattern kids can color row by row.

What do the lucky charms mean?

In Germany, people love giving little lucky charms on New Year's Eve – often made of marzipan, chocolate or paper. Each one has its own meaning: the pig once stood for having plenty, and the four-leaf clover is special because it's so rare. The horseshoe is said to catch luck, and the ladybug is a gardener's friend. The toadstool is only lucky as a picture – the real one is poisonous. So this basket holds five kinds of luck at once!

Ideas with your lucky basket

Color the picture, then cut out the charms one by one to decorate New Year's cards. In preschool, each child can share which charm is their favorite and why.
