Toot toot! At this New Year's Eve party, four friends blow their horns all at once. Our linocut-style party hat coloring page has bold outlines and lots of patterns. A fun New Year's Eve printable for older kids – free to download.
Why this party is so contagious
Every kid wears a different hat: one striped, one dotted, one with stars and one with flowers. Their clothes have patterns too – dots on one shirt, stars on another. The kids squeeze their eyes shut with laughter while the party horns curl in front of their mouths. The thick, chunky lines look like a stamp print and give the picture lots of character.

Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.

What happens at a German New Year's Eve party?
Besides party hats and horns, Germany has a few classic New Year's Eve customs. Many families eat jelly doughnuts called Berliner – and sometimes one is secretly filled with mustard as a joke. With wax pouring, people drip melted wax into cold water and guess what the shape means for the year ahead. And on TV, the short comedy “Dinner for One” airs almost every year.
Ideas with the party picture
After coloring, make your own party hats from construction paper with the same patterns as in the picture. You can even name each kid after someone at your party.

The brighter the hats, the better the party.
Give each hat its own base color and the pattern a second one.
