A 10-to-1 countdown for kids

This countdown works at noon, at 9 p.m. or at midnight: start it a minute or two before your "midnight" and give each number one small job. For a full evening plan, see our New Year's Eve activities for kids at home.

  1. 10: put on a party hat.
  2. 9: grab a noisemaker (a sealed bottle with dry rice works).
  3. 8: hold up your favorite coloring page.
  4. 7: do a spin.
  5. 6: take a big breath.
  6. 5: wave to someone you love.
  7. 4: tiptoe to the middle of the room.
  8. 3: crouch down low.
  9. 2: get ready to jump.
  10. 1: shout "Happy New Year!"

Noon Year's Eve

Noon Year's Eve moves the countdown to 12:00 noon, so the party fits before nap time. Use the same countdown above, and see our Noon Year's Eve countdown for toddlers for a morning plan. For ages 4-8, our New Year's Eve activities for kids at home guide has an early "midnight" plan too.

Quick answers

Are there free New Year's coloring pages for kids?

Yes. Our free sample is a 4-page PDF: a cover, 2 coloring pages ("Hello! I am Baby New Year…" and "Yawn! Baby hugs Pip…") and 1 maze, "Help Baby Get to Tick-Tock!" It is from our own book, Baby New Year's Silly Countdown, and it is free for personal and classroom use.

What's in the free New Year's Eve sample?

A "Free Sample Pages" cover, two coloring pages, and one maze. The pages come from Baby New Year's Silly Countdown, a paperback coloring and activity book for kids ages 4-8. The full book is not a printable edition; the sample is the printable option.

What if kids can't stay up until midnight?

Use the 10-to-1 countdown on this page at noon, at 9 p.m., or at midnight — whichever time fits your family. Noon Year's Eve moves the party to 12:00 noon so it can finish before nap time. Our New Year's Eve activities for kids at home guide also has an early "midnight" plan for ages 4-8.

What is Noon Year's Eve?

Noon Year's Eve is a pretend New Year's countdown held at noon instead of midnight, so little kids can shout "Happy New Year!" in the middle of the day and still keep their usual nap and bedtime. Families often hold it on December 31, but any day that suits you works.
