Kids Hanging Lanterns on the Door, Chinese New Year
Coloring guide
A smiling girl with a ponytail stands on a small step ladder, reaching up to hang a round paper lantern with a long tassel on the front door. Next to her, a happy boy in a hoodie holds a second lantern, ready for his turn. The paneled door has a border of blossom flowers around it and a flower garland across the top, and a potted bush sits in each bottom corner. Lantern stripes, flowers and sweater details all give kids lots to color. Red and gold would be great for the lanterns and tassels, and soft pink makes the blossoms stand out against the door.
