Night Sky Fireworks and Village Lanterns for Chinese New Year

Coloring guide
Fireworks light up a starry night sky on this free printable page. Three large bursts and one smaller one sit among lots of little five-point stars, with a crescent moon in the top right corner and two curved streaks of light rising from below. Down below, four round paper lanterns with tassels hang from a string between two houses. Tiled rooftops, square-paned windows and rounded bushes offer lots of small spaces for little hands, and a curving path winds toward the bottom of the page. Deep blue or purple suits the sky, and then red, gold and orange keep the fireworks bright. Red lanterns with yellow tassels would be a good match. Big shapes and tiny ones sit side by side, so it works for kids who like bold strokes and for those who like detail. Looking for more? Our Father's Day and Winter coloring pages pair nicely with this Chinese New Year page.

- 2Color the lanterns hanging on the string with bright red, leaving the small lantern tail at the lower right white.
- 3Fill the house walls with cream, the lower walls and gable with tan, and the door with brown.
- 4Color the window panes with light blue, leaving the white window frame lines and highlights untouched.
- 5Add the green tree and bushes with leaf green and dark green, then fill the road with light gray.
- 6Color the fireworks: use sky blue, leaf green, sage green, orange, and coral red for the streaks, golden yellow for the bright center on the right, and keep the white centers and sparkles white. Finish the small star with golden yellow.
