Free Mid-Autumn Festival coloring pages

16 coloring pages from the Mid-Autumn Festival — also called the Moon Festival or the Mooncake Festival — drawn one per bedtime story, eleven for each of eight countries. Print as many as you like.

These are the coloring pages from the Once Upon a Lantern books — a star lantern, a lion dance, a jade rabbit, a boat let go on the water. Two pages from each of the eight countries are here to print; the other nine in each book stay in the book. Pick one, open the PDF, print it on ordinary US Letter paper. If you want to know what the festival is before you start, the Mid-Autumn Festival guide covers the stories, the date and what to do at home. After a bedtime chart or a chore chart instead? Those are with the free printable charts for parents.

How to print them

  • Every page is a US Letter PDF, portrait. Print at 100% — “fit to page” shrinks the line art and leaves a margin you did not ask for.
  • Ordinary printer paper is fine for pencils. If your child works in marker, anything heavier stops the bleed-through.
  • Print as many copies as you want, for your family, your classroom or your library. They stay free.

Where these pictures come from

Each page belongs to a bedtime story. The eight Once Upon a Lantern books hold eleven tales each, written for ages 4–10, with a word search and a full-page coloring picture after every story — so the page your child is coloring has something to be about. The next Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Wednesday, September 15, 2027.
