Free New Year's Eve Printables for Kids to Fill In
For looking back, there's My Year in Review in a preschool and a school version, plus “My Year in 12 Pictures,” where kids draw one picture for each month. “My New Year Wishes” has three pages for preschool, school, and home. The time capsule kit with a questionnaire and a fold-up envelope gets sealed and opened again next year, and the happy jar printable comes with labels and 52 weekly notes.
For the big night, there's a New Year's party invitation, 8 place cards, 4 New Year folding cards, and 12 family coupons plus blank ones to design. The resolutions spinner, made from two wheels, lets luck pick a resolution. The fresh-start weekly plan helps kids get back into their routine after the break, and the New Year profile is perfect for the first week back at preschool or school.
Writing down your year helps you remember it so much better: what was great, what was hard, what did I learn? For kids, a year in review becomes a treasure they love pulling out of a drawer years later. Writing, drawing, and talking about it also build language skills and help kids remember along the way.
💡 Tips: Fill-In Printables
Regular printer paper works for the year in review, wishes, and profile. Folding cards, place cards, invitations, and the spinner hold up better on cardstock; print folding templates at 100 % / Actual size on A4 or US Letter.
You'll need colored pencils or markers, scissors, and a glue stick, plus a brass fastener for the spinner. An empty jar with a lid works for the happy jar, and a tin or large envelope for the time capsule.
Younger kids can draw instead of write, or tell you their answers to jot down. In preschool or the classroom, spread the printables over a few days and look at them together at the end.
Put the year in review and time capsule in a folder or keepsake box labeled with the date. Fill the happy jar week by week, and hand out the blank coupons all year long.
