Free Printable New Year's Animal Coloring Pages
Kids ages two to four get the cat tangled in streamers, the hedgehog in a party hat, the fox watching fireworks, and the dog snuggling under a blanket. Preschoolers can color the penguins in party hats, the bear in pajamas, the bunny party, and the dinosaur in a party hat. The piglet party and the squirrel with a star garland are made for ages five to eight as well.
Older kids get more detail with the owl holding a clock, the elephant with confetti, and the seals on an ice floe. A big favorite is the capybara in a party hat, chilling at the party. Many of the animals wear patterned hats and scarves that are perfect for getting creative with color.
Real animals often don't enjoy New Year's Eve at all. Dogs and cats hear much better than we do, so the bangs can be really scary for them. The dog under the blanket shows what helps: a calm, cozy hiding spot where they're left in peace. Kids can help by staying quiet and never forcing a pet to cuddle.
