Free Printable Winter and New Year's Day Coloring Pages
The youngest kids get the snowman in a top hat, the lantern walk, and the snowy cabin with fireworks. Preschoolers can color the New Year's walk in the snow, the igloo with fairy lights, the braided New Year's pretzel, and breakfast on New Year's morning.
Older kids can try the sunrise on New Year's morning, sledding on New Year's Day, and the plate of patterned jelly doughnuts. These pages have more shapes and patterns and work great with colored pencils. Since they're not just for New Year's Eve, kids can enjoy them all winter long.
Around the turn of the year, lots of families bake something special. In Germany, jelly doughnuts are a classic New Year's Eve treat. In some regions, people bake a big sweet pretzel or a braided bread wreath for New Year's Day and share it as a family. A fresh-air walk on January 1 is another simple tradition many families love.
