After coloring the red envelope, encourage your child to write their name and a special Lunar New Year message inside, and let them imagine the joy of receiving or giving this symbolic gift.

Lantern Festival (Yuanxiao)

Capping off the Lunar New Year celebrations, the Lantern Festival sees the streets illuminated with beautifully crafted paper lanterns. Our lantern festival coloring page invites kids to color an array of vibrant lanterns, each one a canvas for their creativity.

As they color, discuss how the Lantern Festival signifies the end of the cold winter and the return of spring, symbolizing renewal, light, and hope. Encourage your child to decorate their lantern with their favorite Lunar New Year themes or symbols.
