Forty-five pages of fireworks, confetti, and countdowns—this collection covers every way to celebrate 2026. Toddlers can start with bold numbers and simple party hats (ages 2–5), while older kids tackle city skylines and the famous Times Square ball drop (ages 6–12). That glittering ball first dropped in 1907 and has only paused twice—during 1942 and 1943 due to wartime blackouts. There’s also a Chinese Dragon Dance page, since 2026 is the Year of the Horse, and a cute Baby New Year scene inspired by a tradition that goes back to ancient Greece. All free to print, so grab your crayons and ring in the new year your way.

Creative New Year Coloring Ideas
- LED Sparkle Dots – On the Times Square Ball Drop Coloring Page, add rows of tiny dots inside each triangle to copy the real ball’s LED look. The actual ball has over 32,000 lights!
- Countdown Paper Chain – Color the Countdown Numbers Coloring Page, cut each number into a strip, tape into a chain, and tear one ring every hour on New Year’s Eve. (No scissors? Use pre-torn sticky notes instead.)
- Two-Faced Janus ⭐ INTERACTIVE – January is named after Janus, a Roman god with two faces—one looking back and one looking forward. Before coloring the Year Change 2025 to 2026 Coloring Page, think of one memory from this year and one wish for next year. Write them on the back, then color.
- World Clocks ⭐ INTERACTIVE – Look up when the new year starts in three different places (e.g., Tokyo, Sydney, Paris). Then color the New Year Around the World Coloring Page using different sky shades—dark for places already in midnight, lighter for those still waiting.
- Resolution Acrostic – On the New Year Resolution List Coloring Page, write KIND, MOVE, or READ down the side. Fill each letter with a promise you can keep.
- Confetti Blizzard – Cut tiny paper scraps and glue them onto the Confetti Explosion Coloring Page. In Times Square, over 3,000 pounds of confetti falls at midnight!
- Horse Year Honor ⭐ INTERACTIVE – 2026 is the Year of the Horse. Before coloring the Dragon Holding 2026 Coloring Page, look up one fact about horses. Write it on the page and share it with someone.
- Firework Fingerprints – Dip your fingertip in paint and press around the bursts on the Fireworks Night Sky Coloring Page. Each fingerprint becomes a spark.
- Bubble Texture – On the Champagne Glass Bubbles Coloring Page, draw extra bubbles with a white crayon first, then paint watercolors over. The wax resists the paint and the bubbles “pop” out.
- Glitter Ball – Add silver or gold glitter glue to the ball in the Times Square Ball Drop Coloring Page. The real ball has thousands of crystals, so sparkle is a must.
- Snowy Rooftops – On the Fireworks Over Snowy Town Coloring Page, glue cotton balls on the rooftops before coloring the fireworks. The fluffy snow makes the sky look even brighter.
- Clap Countdown ⭐ INTERACTIVE – Clap once for each number from 10 down to 1 while coloring the Countdown Clock Tower Coloring Page, building hype like a real midnight strike.
- Lantern Parade – On the Chinese Dragon Dance Coloring Page, draw extra hanging lanterns and write “福” (good fortune) on one. Lunar New Year often arrives in late January or February!
- City Glow Reflection – For the New Year Midnight City Coloring Page, shade windows lightly, then mirror the same colors in the river with softer strokes.
- Sparkler Safety Sketch – On the Kids with Sparklers Coloring Page, add a bucket of water and a grown-up nearby to practice safe scenes. Color the sparks as tiny stars.
- Global Greetings – On the Happy New Year Banner Coloring Page, add “Happy New Year” in three languages (try “Feliz Año Nuevo,” “Bonne Année,” or “新年快乐”).
Fun fact: The Times Square ball first dropped in 1907. Back then it was made of iron and wood with just 100 light bulbs. Today’s ball weighs nearly 12,000 pounds and sparkles with over 32,000 LEDs!
