Cherry Blossom Fan, Little Bird and Tea Set for Chinese New Year
Coloring guide
Your eye goes first to the small round bird perched on a blossoming branch painted across a large folding fan. The open fan is split into panels, with five-petal flowers, little buds and leaves spread around the bird. Underneath, a teapot with a domed lid and a flower design sits beside two small tea cups with matching blossoms. Everything rests on a striped table, with a window frame behind and a leafy plant in the top corner. Little hands can handle the big flowers, while the fan panels and leaves give older kids more to do. Soft pink works well for the blossoms, and bright blue or yellow makes the bird stand out. A free printable for a quiet afternoon or a spring-themed activity. Kids who like Chinese New Year coloring pages usually enjoy Halloween and Gingerbread House too.
