Frequently asked questions

What time should children's New Year countdown be?
A pretend countdown at 9pm (with a clock adjusted or a countdown app) works well for children under 8. Older children can often manage a real midnight. The activity sheet works for both — fill it in before the countdown as part of the evening ritual.
Is it really free?
Yes — no email, no sign-up.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes — print as many copies as you need.
