A happy new year color by number set with no year on it

No sheet prints a year. The New Year calendar shows only a large 1, and the Clock at midnight has both hands on the red mark at 12.

From 2 crayons to 5

The New Year calendar takes 2 crayons, black and red. The Confetti popper takes 5 but has the fewest squares to color on the easy grid, 50.

  • The Sparkler and the City at midnight are the darkest sheets: 95 and 77 black squares on the easy grid.

Questions and answers

What is on the New Year calendar picture?

A page with a red band at the top and a large black 1, for January 1, New Year's Day. The paper of the page is left white, so only the band, the rings, the frame and the 1 get a color.

Is there a picture for New Year's Eve?

Yes, four show the night of December 31: the Clock at midnight, the City at midnight, the Sparkler and the Disco ball.

What is the Checklist picture for?

It shows a list on a clipboard: three lines have a green check mark and one has a red mark.

How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids in October 2026. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, and no picture shows a brand, a logo or a character from a film, show, book or game. No picture shows a year or a drink. The fact in the New Year calendar description was checked against Wikipedia in October 2026, and the color and square counts were counted from the finished grids. Licence: own work
