Cozy in pajamas and still part of the fun: the window is the best seat for the fireworks! This New Year's Eve coloring page shows a child under a string of glowing fairy lights. Print it for free and brighten up the bedroom.
Why this window scene feels so cozy
The curly-haired child kneels on a rug wearing pajamas covered in little hearts. A string of round fairy lights hangs over the window, and the curtain on the left is tied back. A shelf holds a teddy bear, a toy car and some books. Outside, chimneys puff smoke from little houses, and firework bursts pop all over the sky and in the window.

Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished picture a spot on the fridge!
How do families in Germany celebrate at home?
Lots of kids love watching fireworks from inside by the window – it's warm, quieter and still beautifully bright. In Germany, many families have little traditions before midnight: with wax pouring, you drip melted wax into cold water and guess what the shape means for the year ahead. People used to use lead, but lead-pouring kits haven't been allowed for sale in the EU since 2018. Jelly doughnuts called Berliner are popular too, and the TV sketch “Dinner for One” airs every year.
Fun ideas with the window picture
Color every bulb on the fairy lights a different color and hang the picture next to your own window. You can also talk about what the child might be wishing for in the year ahead.
