Plum Blossom Lantern with Tassel for Chinese New Year

This page shows one round paper lantern dangling from a short string. A big five-petal blossom sits in the middle of its curved ribs, with a circle at the center and five thin lines, each finishing in a tiny dot, for the stamens. There's a flat cap on top, a matching ring at the base, a small bead at the top of the string and a fringed tassel at the bottom. Outlines are bold and the spaces are large and simple, which suits preschoolers and early elementary kids with crayons or chunky markers. Red or orange would look nice on the ribs, soft pink on the petals, and bright yellow on the tassel, cap and base. Print it free for a quiet, creative moment. Kids who like Chinese New Year coloring pages usually enjoy Father's Day and Winter too.
