Purchase the Book
Chinese Take Out boxes
Add Chinese snacks to these boxes as a parting gift for your guests. Or give each guest a box with a discussion question inside. Each guest will answer or begin the discussion for the question in their "Take Out" box.
Sesame Candy
Serve these candies so that your guest see a traditional Chinese candy. Or add these to a Takeout box as part of your parting gift.
Gummy Worms
If you have read the book, you know why we would discuss worms. Use these as a topper to the Dirt and worms pudding cups or serve to your guests separately.
Pudding Molds
Create pudding dirt and worms in these cups or cupcakes for each guest. Decorate with ribbon or Chinese characters.
Cross Stitch Kit
Even though I cannot imagine any book club sitting around and embroidering, I loved this kit and it goes with our theme!
