Coloring order

Start with the red panda's rusty-brown body and ringed tail, alternating brown and cream bands, to fill in the whole animal first.
Color the round lantern in its arms and the two lanterns on the string in matching reds, keeping the white flowers on the pink robe a different color.
Last, do the green-roofed candy cart and its wooden wheel, the pink flowers at the bottom and the little stars in the sky.

Questions to talk about

Where do you think the red panda is carrying that lantern?
What flavors might the candies on the little cart have?
Have you ever walked outside at night with a lantern or flashlight?

Take it further

Fold a sheet of colored paper in half, cut slits from the fold almost to the edge, then open it and glue the ends into a round paper lantern. Hang several in a row.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
