Chinese New Year Bunny Smiling Beneath a Blossom Branch and Lantern
Coloring guide
This little bunny sits upright in the grass with big sparkling eyes and a wide smile. A blossoming branch arches over its head, covered in five-petal flowers and plump buds. At the tip hangs a round paper lantern with a long tassel, right next to one of the bunny's tall ears. Down below, a few loose petals and small tufts of grass are scattered around the feet and fluffy tail. Lines are clean and shapes are large, so crayons and markers both work fine, and the tiny flower centers are there for kids who enjoy fine detail. Soft pink blossoms look pretty, and a bright red lantern with a golden tassel stands out nicely. The bunny can stay white or get a light gray coat. It's a free printable for a quiet afternoon, or for a spring or Lunar New Year classroom activity. Looking for more? Our Halloween and Gingerbread House coloring pages pair nicely with this Chinese New Year page.
