Why this tower is so easy to color
The tower has a roof of rounded tiles, with two big eyes and a smile underneath. In the middle sits a huge clock face with tick marks and two bold hands. A few bricks show at the corners, and the tower stands on a wide base on a hill. Five firework sprays burst behind it, surrounded by tiny stars.

Why do towers have clocks?
Long ago, not everyone owned a watch. So people built big tower clocks on churches and town halls – that way the whole village could see the time. Many clock towers also have bells you can hear from far away. In Germany, church bells in many towns ring at midnight on New Year's Eve to welcome the year. In the U.S., crowds at Times Square watch a glowing ball drop. Fireworks are always lit by grown-ups while kids watch from a distance.
Fun ideas with the clock tower
Color the sky behind the tower dark blue and keep the fireworks bright – it will look like a real New Year's night. Then listen together at midnight: can you hear bells where you live?
