Mid-Autumn Festival
China's Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, so its Gregorian date changes each year. It is associated with the harvest, family reunions, moon-viewing and sharing mooncakes. Lanterns, rabbits and garden scenes offer gentle ways to explore these traditions through coloring.

- 3. White fittings and plate
- Color all lotus lantern petals pink, including narrow folded sections.

For broad shapes, try the rabbit with a mooncake or the lotus lantern. The garden, lantern stall and mooncake-making scenes have smaller flowers, roof patterns and clothing details. Compare the preview and difficulty before choosing.
Try it together
Print a lantern or mooncake scene and repeat a few colors across its petals and patterns. On a separate sheet, draw a lantern you would like to add to the picture, then talk about which details show a Mid-Autumn gathering.
