New Year

Celebrate a fresh start with clocks, balloons, ribbon dances and friendly animals in party hats. This collection also includes paper chains, wish cards, memory jars, family games and quiet morning outings. Choose bold stars and balloons for larger spaces, or rooms and outdoor scenes for more detail; use the finished pages to talk about a favorite memory or a hope for the year ahead.

Choose a memory jar or a midnight clock

The jar leaves space for your own words; the clock focuses on a familiar New Year moment.

Digital coloring example

Memory jar with a blue ribbon and six yellow stars; tag, glass, hearts and rolled papers remain white.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Blue bow
  • 2. Yellow stars
  • 3. White tag and glass
  1. Color the bow and the ribbon around the jar neck blue.
  2. Color all six stars yellow: three in the jar and three outside.
  3. Keep the blank tag, glass, hearts and rolled papers white.

The blue ribbon and yellow stars are clear without hiding the rolled papers. The tag stays readable.

Add one memory

Write a short memory on the printed tag, or write it on a separate paper strip and place it beside the page. Choose something you are comfortable sharing; this is a paper activity.
