Pixel Style Block Letters Spelling Happy New Year

Three lines of chunky outlined letters spell out HAPPY NEW YEAR on a plain white background. The letters have a pixel or blocky look, with stair-step edges on the diagonals of the A, N, W, Y and R, and the tops of the A's rise in a little stepped peak. Each letter is wide and hollow, so there is plenty of room to fill them in. The P's and R have open loops, and each A has a small stepped opening in the middle. There are no pictures or decorations, just the words. Try coloring each letter a different shade, or fill them with stripes, dots or zigzags to match the blocky style. It also works well as a countdown party activity, since kids can color one word each and hang the finished page on a wall or door. A free printable like this is handy for classroom bulletin boards too.
