Kids will enjoy making their own New Near’s clock to celebrate a beginning of a new year. Simply print the template and let them cut, assemble, and write their New Year’s Resolution.
Happy New Year! Bring in the New Year with your kids and make a clock and write a resolution to set the year off right. It’s the perfect way to get kids to make goals for the new year. The clock hands say “Happy New Year” and can be glued down or with the addition of a Metal Brad Fasteners-affiliate link
, they can spin like a real clock.
If your kiddo has never heard of a New Years Resolution this book, Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution-affiliate link, is a cute story to help them better understand this tradition. I am planning on keeping my kid’s craft so I can go back and read what they wrote at the end of the year. I should make one too, so I can be motivated to accomplish my own New Year’s resolution.
