How to Make This Printable Reusable
Want to reuse these New Year’s coloring sheets year after year? Try laminating them using a thermal laminator or self-laminating sheets, or placing each page inside a separate plastic page protector or dry erase pocket.
This will allow your child to color in the pictures using markers or paint, then wipe them clean for future use. (For an easy cleanup, make sure you use washable markers or washable kids’ paint rather than acrylic paint.)
