The whole village is out in the snow, because the sky is full of fireworks! This New Year's Eve coloring page shows cozy half-timbered houses, snowy trees and lots of little people on the square. Print it for free and light up this snowy village.
Why there's so much to discover in this village
The half-timbered houses have thick snowy roofs, smoking chimneys and lots of wooden beams to color one by one. A pointed church spire peeks out between the rooftops. Families stand hand in hand on the square, a man points up at the sky and a few kids are building a snowman. The trees wear string lights, and big firework bursts full of stars fill the sky.

Why is it called “Silvester” in Germany?
In Germany, New Year's Eve is called Silvester, named after Pope Sylvester I. He died on December 31 in the year 335, so his feast day falls on the last day of the year. In small villages, neighbors often gather outside to watch the fireworks together, just like in this picture. The houses here are half-timbered: they have a frame of wooden beams, and the spaces between were once filled with clay or bricks. That's what gives the walls their striking pattern.
Fun ideas with the snowy village
Count how many people are on the square and give each family a name. The finished picture makes great winter decor on a bedroom door – try gluing cotton balls onto the roofs for fluffy snow.
