Free New Year's Eve Countdown for Kids
Twelve countdown cards to cut apart and open one at a time on New Year's Eve, each with a small activity like a freeze dance or a paper chain. It works just as well for a noon countdown, so younger kids can celebrate without staying up until midnight.
The three 'my year' pages make a keepsake: a time capsule with this year's favorites and a hand to trace, a page to draw the best memories of 2026, and a page for 2027 goals. The last page explains how to time the cards.
