Step 1
Print the paper lantern pattern and handle on colored construction paper and help your child color them and cut them out. Show your child how to fold the lantern pattern in half following the dotted line in the center and then cut along the six vertical dotted lines.

Step 2

Use sticky tape or a glue stick to attach each end of the handle to the lantern's top. Tie a ribbon or a piece of string to the handle to hang the lantern.
