New Year’s Activities with Kids

Pin this! Print this! Before you know it you’ll be looking for ideas of what to do with the kids for New Year’s Eve this year. With Thanksgiving so late this year the holiday season is coming so quickly.

Plus most of us are home with our kids for a few days after so it might be fun to create a few activities with them to celebrate the new year.

New Years Printables

I’ve created a 4 Page Packet that includes New Years Interview, Writing Prompt and New Year’s Sign for you to print and do with your kids over the holiday break.

It’s available for purchase for $2.99. (UPDATED FOR 2025)

    We did your New Year interview last year, and it was fun! This year I will use these questions in our Advent Journal. I will also link to your post in mine that I am writing for later this week 🙂
