New Year's First Sparkle Owl Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Little Owl was determined to stay awake for the New Year. "I want to see the first sparkle," she hooted to her papa. Papa Owl tucked her into their cozy nest. The moon climbed high. Little Owl's eyes felt very heavy. Blink... blink... She watched the sleeping forest below. Just as her eyes were about to close for good, one tiny, brilliant star popped out in the dark sky, brighter than all the rest. Twinkle! "I saw it, Papa!" she whispered. "The first sparkle." Papa Owl hugged her with his wing. "Happy New Year, my little owlet." The best celebrations are sometimes the quietest ones.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The simple, geometric shapes of the owls (circles, ovals) and the large, distinct star are perfect for the 3-5 age range. The classic, bold line art is easy to see and follow. The emotional warmth of the scene is comforting and relatable for young children.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Let's color a beautiful night sky! Here are Papa Owl and Little Owl staying up late. Can you color them in? Maybe they are brown, or gray, or even snowy white! Look at the big, sparkly star they are watching. You can make it the brightest, most yellow star in the sky. What color will you make the moon?

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For a dramatic effect, try printing this on dark blue construction paper and have your child use white, yellow, or metallic crayons! Otherwise, standard white paper is perfect for creating their own night sky.

Recommended Tools

Crayons are excellent for this page. A bright yellow or glitter crayon would be extra special for the big star! Using a dark blue or black crayon for the sky helps the star and moon stand out, teaching the concept of contrast.
