Questions
When is Lunar New Year?
It falls between late January and mid-February. In 2027 it's on 6 February.
When is it best to use?
Late January or February (the date follows the lunar calendar).
Is it really free?
Yes. Print as many as you like for home, classrooms, parties and libraries. Please link to this page rather than re-uploading the file.
Do you keep the names I type?
No. The page is drawn in your browser and the names never leave your device.
What paper should I use?
Ordinary printer paper is fine for crayons and pencils. For markers or paint, use a thicker 120 to 160 gsm paper so it doesn't bleed through.
