Who Are These New Year Coloring Pages For?

These coloring pages are designed for ages 5-9, kindergarten through grade 3.

Younger children can focus on coloring the larger spaces and pictures, while older kids can add their own details and color combinations.

Why Use New Year Coloring Pages With Kids?

New Year coloring pages give children a calm activity while helping them notice the transition from one calendar year to the next.

They’re also easy to add to your first homeschool day back in January when you want something simple before returning to your regular routine.

Recommended New Year Books

Reading together is a wonderful way to make the season meaningful. I always like to pair stories with an activity to bring ideas to life.

What Supplies Are Needed?

• Printer (I have this one)
• Paper
• Crayons/pencil crayons

I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s not available anymore. It’s been running well for years now. Look for another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
