Why this page is perfect for little ones
A child with big eyes and a wide smile sits on a round stool at a table. With a pencil in hand, the child writes on a sheet that's still completely blank. Five little stars lie to the right. The lines are thick and the spaces big – just right for kids from age 2.
🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best
Click “Print” on the right, or download the image or PDF.
Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.
Regular printer paper is fine for colored pencils; for paint, use thicker paper (65–110 lb).
Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished picture a spot on the fridge!
Why do we write down wishes for the New Year?
The turn of the year is a great time to think: what would I like to learn or try in the New Year? These ideas are called New Year's resolutions. The month of January is named after the Roman god Janus, who had two faces – one looking back and one looking ahead. That's exactly what we do at New Year's: remember the old year and look forward to the next one. Little kids can simply draw their wishes while a grown-up writes the words.
