New Year Coloring Pages
New Year is celebrated on January 1st the first day of the year. The night before, December 31st is New Year's Eve, where people usually stay up until midnight with friends and family. Other traditions include making New Year's Resolutions. Doddle Art Alley.Com says while you are waiting for that clock to hit midnight, print out some of their pages and start coloring. It will be a fun, creative way to pass the time with your family and friends.
