Dumplings in a bamboo steamer - Chinese new year coloring sheet

About this coloring page

Seven plump dumplings sit in a bamboo steamer with a pair of chopsticks resting on the plate. Families in northern China fold dumplings together on New Year's Eve, and their shape is said to look like old silver ingots, so eating them brings wealth. This Chinese New Year coloring sheet is calm and simple: cream dumplings, a light brown steamer and a patterned plate. The boy in a tang suit with a red envelope looks ready to sit down and eat.
