Celebrate Chinese New Year 2024, the Year of The Dragon with these FREE Lunar New Year engaging coloring pages. Use these dragon coloring page worksheets to create an eye-catching Chinese New Year art display in your classroom.
This free Year of the Dragon coloring activity forms part of this engaging, multi-activity Chinese New Year Art and Writing Packet which I update annually to include the Zodiac animal of the year.
