New Year coloring pages include many simple wishes and holiday greetings. The youngest kids will find it easy to memorize letters. These fun coloring sheets will bring your family a lot of joy, as they perfectly illustrate the magical moments of winter. Consider your son’s or daughter’s preferences when choosing a suitable template. Simple pictures are ideal for kids aged 5 and younger, while images with snowflakes and intricate patterns are perfect for older children.
Top 5 Creative Crafts with New Year Coloring Pages
When I decided to choose suitable activities involving the usage of New Year coloring pages, I started to look for original ideas that are easy to implement and do not require parents to purchase expensive materials. Below, you will find a list of the wonderful crafts I created with my kids when preparing for the holiday.
Celebratory Banner
If you organize a party, use New Year coloring pages to create a lovely banner. Many images on this page include the standard greeting for the upcoming year. Print them in a larger format and show your kids how to color the letters carefully. Then, cut them out and glue them to the banner. It’s better to put them in the center so your guests will notice them immediately after entering the room.
As my son enjoys drawing stars, I tasked him with filling out the empty space with these magnificent celestial bodies. My daughter colored the picture of the snake to celebrate the new Lunar year and glued it to the left side of the banner. This craft requires only basic supplies and a lot of creativity. Make sure to supervise your children when they use scissors and glue.
Fairy Wand
My daughter was thrilled when I told her how to use the cutouts from the New Year coloring pages she finished to decorate a magic wand. For this project, we used a star-shaped template and pictures with Christmas tree ornaments, snowflakes, and text inscriptions. You may also print images with compositions of numbers in a smaller size, cut out any elements you like, and glue them to a star. Then, find a wooden stick and carefully attach the star to its end using glue.
Decorate the magic wand with lametta strips to make it look as if it belongs to a fairy godmother. This craft is best suited for girls, but you can easily turn such an item into a spellcasting wand if your child loves stories about wizards and fantasy worlds. They can get creative when coloring the star and the stick, so make sure to prepare paint, markers, pencils, and some glitter.
Paper Flags
Another idea with New Year coloring pages will best suit those who enjoy decorating their house and want to create a festive atmosphere. Mark the new page in your family’s history by encouraging your kids to create eye-catching flags. Such DIY items will look wonderful in any interior, adding a bright accent to every room. My daughter uses cut-out figures of animals, numbers, letters, and other elements to make each item unique. Moreover, she wrote a heartfelt message on every flag she created, turning her crafts into cherished keepsakes.
It’s better to use colored cardstock paper. Cut out triangle-shaped flag templates and glue the cut-outs from the coloring pictures to them. Your kids may write their wishes on such flags or even indicate the goals they want to achieve. Little ones will be happy to help you decorate the living room with the items they created. You may need to find a rope or a wire to hang your flags.
Party Hats
If you want to throw a real party, you can’t do without themed accessories. Use cardstock paper to create party hats and show kids how to decorate them with glitter and cut-outs from New Year coloring pages. Use numbers to show what year you are going to celebrate, and personalize each hat by adding unique details. Kids may need your assistance when assembling the hats. As my daughter already knows how to make simple stitches, she could attach a pompom without my help. Little ones can glue glitter and sequins to their hats.
Noise Makers
It’s one of the funniest projects I’ve worked on together with my kids. After finding some paper plates at home, we decided to cut out the animals, text inscriptions, and other elements from New Year coloring pages to decorate the bottom of the plates. Then, we put some popcorn on each plate.
After adding some glue to the inside edges of each plate, we covered one plate with another and partly inserted a craft stick decorated with washi tape. I used a stapler to connect both plates even more securely. As a result, we created DIY noise makers that were extremely fun to use. It helped us spend wonderful moments together when celebrating the beginning of the new year.
