3 Cool Ways to Color Your Dumpling Coloring Pages
You don’t need a cupboard full of supplies to have fun with these printable dumpling coloring sheets.
All you need are a couple of pencils (or crayons) and some scrap paper for them to get started on whichever delicious little scene tickles their fancy!
1. Give Your Potstickers Golden Edges
Make your dumplings as usual, but add a bit more yellow to them by using light cream crayon instead of just normal ones. They have a golden brown along the bottom and are just a tiny bit tan on the insides where they fold up. Also leave the top part lighter so that you can see the difference.
Then top everything off with green scallions (if you have them around) to make things look even brighter!
2. Make a Rainbow Spoon Ride
The happy dumpling riding a soup spoon should get a colorful outing! Ask your child to shade the wrapper with some soft rainbow stripes (leaving space on top to draw the face). Color the spoon either blue or silver, then paint some tiny stars all over the cute picture to hang on their bedroom wall.
3. Color the Filling First
Color the cut-open dumplings first! Choose some green ones (for leafy veggies), orange (carrots?), and light yellow (to make filling pop!). Then just go with your favorite color of plate and draw little doodles around the edge. 😋
Just set up your favorite colors and enjoy coloring with our dumpling coloring pages!
