Twelve Firework Bursts Around Big Happy New Year Letters

Big outlined block letters spell out HAPPY NEW YEAR in the center of the page, stacked on three lines and left empty so they are ready for color. Around the words are twelve firework bursts in three different styles. Some are thin starburst lines radiating from a small open center, some are circles of wavy, flame-like swirls, and others are spiky, layered star shapes that look a bit like snowflakes. A few of the bursts are partly cut off by the page edges. Print it for a classroom countdown or a family party table. Try coloring each letter in a different shade, then give the spiky bursts metallic gold or silver crayons and use bright colors for the wavy ones. The wide letters are easy for younger kids to fill in, and the small burst details give older kids something to work on.
