May issue hits the stands!

The May issue of beijingkids is full of fun DIY projects for you and the kids. Get messy and design your own tie-dye tees. Rediscover some old school skills and make your own butter, yogurt and soy milk. Bit of a green thumb? We give you the low-down of where to find herbs in Beijing and how to plant them.          

If it's food options you crave, we have you covered. Head outdoors and dine in the sun, try Turkish delights at Turkish Mum, Fuel gives us their recipe for the perfect pizza and Xiyun Yang prepares a chilled-out summer soup. 

Health columnist Dr. Richard Saint Cyr tells us what we should pack in our first-aid kit and nutritionist Olivia Lee gives us some healthy alternatives to some of our favorite treats.

Have fun in the sun and take a walking tour through 798.  Climb the walls and kick a goal at O'le. Looking for an adventure? Take a trip to the Philippines or head to Taipei. If staying closer to home is more your cup of tea, why not take a day trip out to the ancient Guyaju cave dwellings. 

Elsewhere in the magazine, we interview Canadian sports hero Rick Hansen and get the scoop on Beijing's student magazine, Unit-E.

See what our parent columnists are writing about this month. Meet our new Beijing Baba, Gareth Jones. And see why Jennifer Ambrose chose to DIY her children's education. 

As always, find kid-friendly events and search our Directories for anything and everything you’ll need in Beijing.
