A Glowing Visit: The Child with the Red Lantern

Your child can go wild with detail here: from the round lantern with its delicate patterns to the traditional clothing, all the way to the background, which leaves room for stars, clouds, or little fireworks. The shoes and hair are also waiting to be brought to life.

Color tip: Red, gold, and a touch of sparkle

For an especially festive result, bold red and warm gold work beautifully, the colors that stand for luck and joy during Chinese New Year. The lantern can shimmer in several shades of red, while golden accents along the edges add a festive touch. The background can stay dark blue or black so the lantern really glows, just like on a real New Year's night.

If you like, tell a little story while coloring: the child walks through the streets with their lantern to wish neighbors and friends a happy new year. This adds a fun twist to coloring and turns a few crayons into a little adventure in no time. You can download this coloring page for free and print it comfortably at home on A4 paper, then the colorful New Year fun can begin.
