Do you know what your sign is in Chinese zodiac? What about your kids? Chinese zodiac is really interesting and these 12 zodiac animal colouring pages are great way to explore all the signs.
Getting your kids interested in the zodiac signs can be a great introduction for them to start learning about Chinese culture and maybe even to spark their interest to start learning Mandarin.
Got them interested or want to introduce the Chinese culture and language to them? We just know they will enjoy the Snowflake books then, as they make wonderfully illustrated books with text both in English and Mandarin.
The stories that will fascinate your kids will help them learn useful Chinese words and expressions as well as learn about Chinese legends and culture. What a wonderful way to learn don’t you think?
Let’s take a closer look at 12 Zodiac animal colouring pages that you and your kids can colour in together.
The Horse is drawn in all it’s glory.
Who hasn’t heart of the mighty Chinese dragon yet? We just know the kids are going to love this one. There are so many colours your kids can use to color this one. If you have one at home, a gold colour gel pen will do wonders on this one.
The playful dog plays with a ball.
This monkey has a very mischievous look on it’s face doesn’t it? What is this little guy or girl up to?
Rats can be all cute and cuddly. The strawberries sure do look delicious!
The ox is wearing lots of traditional decorations. This one will look amazing when coloured in.
You just have to love the loving expression on this little pigs face. The flowery details on the pig make it even cuter.
Next we have a super fancy looking rabbit. This rabbit is wearing one of the traditional garments.
Rooster is looking great with it’s bow. We do wonder what kind of color your kids will pick for the bow.
This goat is looking like a lovely fluffy cloud. It will look great when colored in.
This tiger looks like it’s ready to jump at pretty much anything that would cross it’s path. Magnificent animal indeed.
Last, but certainly not least is the snake. We do love how this colouring page has lots of flowers around the snake.
We hope you will print them all out and have the kids explore all the signs and do check out other Snowflake books activities for kids.
Once they know them all you can figure out what all your signs are together. The way the Chinese zodiac is different from our zodiac is beyond fascinating for kids and we think every kid out there should explore the Chinese zodiac (both for fun and for broadening cultural horizons).
