Chinese New Year celebration with dragon and family – free coloring page to print · Doodleur

A busy coloring page of a Chinese New Year celebration. A large dragon flies above a family while a person in a lion dance costume performs in the foreground. Hanging lanterns, a pagoda, and blossoming branches frame the happy crowd under a sky of fireworks.

Coloring tips

Try using bright red and gold for the dragon and lanterns, with soft pink for the cherry blossoms and vibrant colors for the lion.
This is a great choice for those who enjoy detailed illustrations and want to practice staying within many small, intricate shapes.
Work from the top down to avoid smudging the fireworks and dragon while you color the family and lion dancer below.
