Paper Lantern Coloring Page

About this coloring page

Round as a pumpkin, this smiling paper lantern has curved ribs, a cap for hanging and a tassel swinging underneath. It has very few small parts and falls between easy and medium.

Lunar New Year is celebrated in China, Vietnam, Korea and many other places, and by families all over the world. Streets and homes are decorated with glowing lanterns like this one. Ask your child where they would hang it: by the door, in a window or along the street? Light yellow near the middle makes it look lit from inside.
