Chinese New Year Printables

Chinese New Year is a happy, family non-religious celebration. To mark this celebration, we have a growing collection of printables here at Topmarks which you can download and print off.

Year of the Dragon

10 February 2024 marked the start of the Chinese New Year of the Dragon. Why not download our Chinese dragon sheet which is useful as a mindfulness colouring activity? Dragons in Chinese culture are friendly creatures which bring good luck, rather than fire breathing monsters in western myths.

Children enjoy colouring and the activity provides an opportunity for them to develop their fine motor skills.
