It's midnight and the fireworks start over the little town! This fireworks coloring page shows four huge bursts above a church tower and rooftops. Print it for free and make your New Year's Eve sky as colorful as you like.
Why these fireworks are easy to color
Each burst is a big circle with a wavy edge, filled with rays and little stars, so kids can color one section at a time. Below sits a small town with a church, a bell tower and houses with lots of windows. The lines are thick and the spaces large – perfect for preschoolers. A few rocket trails and tiny stars fly between the bursts.

Where do New Year's fireworks come from?
Long ago, people made loud noises at the turn of the year with drums, rattles and bells – they believed the noise scared away bad spirits. Later fireworks joined the party; they were first made in China. The colors come from different materials inside the firework: some glow red, others green or blue. Fireworks are always lit by grown-ups – kids watch from a safe distance.
