If you live near a university with an international program or a well-funded library, ask if they have Culture Kits available. These are simply tubs of materials that are about a particular culture. A Chinese Culture Kit might include realia such as: traditional rice steamers, chopsticks, paper lanterns, traditional toys, and jewelry. Each Culture Kit typically also provides an Information Sheet listing facts about the items in the kit.
If you live near Iowa City, the international program at the University of Iowa has several Culture Kits that can be checked out for two-weeks. There is a 5 kit maximum. Below are some links that direct you to the Culture Kits available at UI.
