Trace over these Chinese lanterns for lots of pencil control practice. Younger children can trace between the channel of the dotted lines, using a thick felt tip pen or crayon, or even a dry wipe marker on a laminated copy of the page.
We've greyed out the outlines of these Chinese lanterns to make a pencil control activity for Spring Festival or Chinese New Year. Children can trace over the lines with the same or different colours, colour in and embellish the pictures.
Here is another Chinese lantern for the children to trace, following the dotted lines or drawing in between them. Colour in bright Chinese New Year colours when done!
The idea of this Chinese New Year pencil control worksheet featuring two pretty Chinese fans is that children should trace over the greyed out lines very carefully, deciding where to start and finish each line and varying colouring as they go if they wish.
This lovely big Chinese fan tracing worksheet provides excellent practice for younger children, who should trace between the dotted lines. Older kids, or those with better pencil control, can trace along all the dotted lines.
This is the sort of Chinese design you see stencilled on furniture or printed onto clothes, and it's a fun one for the kids to trace over - although a little tricky! Why not get the kids to colour it in when done - perhaps in red or gold?
This tracing page has an intricate circular pattern that is instantly recognisable as a Chinese design. It would look great coloured in gold, red or black when all the dotted lines have been traced.
This rooster template is just of the head but it is rather striking and I think it could be used in many ways to liven up your displays and crafts.
Our second rooster template has a very simplified outline and a solid base which makes it great for younger children to cut out of card and use for their farm crafts or displays. Of course it is also great for Chinese New Year of the Rooster.
This rooster or cockerel template has fairly simple lines, although it isn't one to be attempted by your youngest children. It might be useful for a farmyard scene, or your Year of the Rooster crafts. We have provided 3 sizes over 2 pages.
