Ready to add a splash of color and excitement to your family’s New Year’s Eve celebration? Look no further! Our free downloadable 3D coloring page is not just a fun activity; it can also be used as a home made Happy New Year card, and can be displayed as a decoration.
This Happy New Year coloring page is a three-layered piece featuring a sparkling fireworks display, a bustling cityscape, and a cheerful boy or girl ready to ring in the New Year with you. It’s more than just a regular coloring page – it’s an interactive craft that pops right off the table!
How to Make Your New Year Paper Craft Diorama
Getting started is as easy as click, print, and color.
Grab your crayons, markers, or colored pencils, and let your creativity flow. We also added some stick on gems for extra sparkle.
Each segment of the design has its own page, making it easy to focus on each intricate detail.
Once colored, cut out the pieces following the simple guidelines and assemble your 3D masterpiece.
Each page of the printable shows you were to cut and where to add glue.
To put the 3d coloring page together, a regular glue stick like Pritt stick is just fine. You can use regular printer paper, or if you want something stronger then go with cardstock.
This isn’t just an arts and crafts project; it’s a way to connect and spend quality time with your kids, and my 6 year old girl loved making these.
If you enjoyed making these simple paper dioramas, you can also look at how to make a diorama and try making some even more complex – it’s a lot of fun!
While coloring, talk about the year that’s passed and share your hopes for the year to come. What better way to set the stage for a year of creativity and color?

This craft transcends beyond the countdown on December 31st – it’s also a fantastic way to usher in the Chinese New Year. The vibrant fireworks and the city skyline are reminiscent of the jubilant displays seen during the Spring Festival, and the character, with his joyous demeanor, embodies the spirit of celebration and new beginnings that are central to both occasions.
Incorporating this coloring activity as part of your Chinese New Year festivities can serve as a wonderful bridge between cultures, sparking conversations with your children about the significance of the holiday, its traditions, and the many ways people around the world celebrate the turning of the year.
It’s an opportunity to teach them about the lunar calendar, the zodiac, and the story of Nian, all while engaging in a shared, creative endeavor.
So whether you’re counting down to January 1st or awaiting the Lunar New Year, this craft is a delightful addition that captures the essence of excitement, hope, and unity that both celebrations share.
Let’s color our way into new beginnings with joy and anticipation for prosperity and happiness in the year ahead!
