To make the holiday season even more exciting, you can use these coloring pages for fun DIY crafts that are easy, engaging, and budget-friendly. Here are five creative ideas for New Year crafts with coloring pages that my children and I love to make together:
1. Festive Banner
Create a celebratory banner for your home or New Year party using coloring pages:
-
Print your chosen pages in a larger format.
-
Let your kids color the letters, numbers, and illustrations.
-
Cut them out and glue them onto a banner base.
My son loves drawing stars in the empty spaces, while my daughter enjoyed coloring a Lunar New Year snake illustration for the left side of the banner. This craft requires basic supplies like scissors, glue, and paper, and it instantly adds a cheerful, personalized touch to any party.
2. Magical Fairy Wand
Transform coloring page cutouts into a magical wand:
-
Use a star-shaped template and attach colored pictures of snowflakes, ornaments, and festive numbers.
-
Glue the star to the top of a wooden stick.
-
Decorate with glitter, ribbons, or lametta for a fairy-tale look.
This activity is perfect for kids who love fantasy stories or fairy-themed play, and it allows them to customize their wand with colors, stickers, and creative details.
3. DIY Paper Flags
Make festive paper flags to brighten your home:
-
Cut triangle-shaped templates from colored cardstock.
-
Glue cut-outs of animals, numbers, and letters from the coloring pages.
-
Encourage children to write wishes, goals, or messages on each flag.
-
Hang the flags using a rope or string to create a cheerful, decorative garland.
This craft adds a personal touch to your New Year celebrations and gives children a sense of pride in their creations.
4. Custom Party Hats
Bring extra fun to your New Year party by making personalized hats:
-
Use cardstock paper to form the base of the hat.
-
Decorate with glitter, sequins, and cut-outs from the coloring sheets.
-
Add numbers, symbols, or favorite characters to make each hat unique.
Older kids can help assemble the hats, attach pompoms, or add special touches, while younger children enjoy coloring and gluing decorations.
5. DIY Noise Makers
Create fun party noise makers using coloring pages and simple household items:
-
Decorate the bottom of paper plates with cut-outs from the coloring sheets.
-
Add popcorn or small beads for sound.
-
Stack and glue two plates together, inserting a decorated craft stick as a handle.
-
Secure with a stapler for extra durability.
These homemade noise makers provide hours of fun and make the New Year countdown even more exciting for kids and adults alike.
