Cute Dumpling Plate to Color for Chinese New Year

Coloring guide
Five smiling dumplings share a round plate on this cute page. Each one has tiny dot eyes, a little curved smile and a ruffled, pleated edge along the top. Four sit around the outside and one is in the center. Under the plate, a small bowl of dipping sauce is on the left and a pair of chopsticks lies diagonally on the right. With big shapes and bold, clean outlines, it's a good pick for preschoolers and early elementary kids still working on pencil control. Golden yellow and soft tan make nice wrappers, rich brown suits the sauce, and a bright red or blue plate rim helps the dumplings stand out. Print it at home, no sign-up needed.

- 3Color the wavy crimped edges of every dumpling in golden yellow so they stand out from the pale faces.

- 6Optional: add a little darker shading along the bottom of each dumpling and the bowl edge to make them look rounder.
