Twelve strips for New Year's Eve, numbered 12 hours to 1 hour to midnight. Make the chain in the morning, start at midday and tear off a link every hour. Little ones who won't stay up can have a "noon year" party instead: use the last few strips and count down to midday.
How to make the chain
- Print the 2 sheets at 100% (actual size) and colour the numbers and pictures.
- Cut out each strip along its outline. There are 12 strips, numbered 12 to 1.
- Curl strip 1 into a ring, picture outside, and glue or tape the tab. Thread strip 2 through it and close that one, and so on, so the highest number ends up at the bottom.
- Hang it up and tear off the bottom link every hour.

Printing tips
- Print at 100% (actual size) so the strips are the same length.
- Glue sticks and tape both work; tape is quicker for little hands.
- Hang the chain where it can be reached for the daily tear-off.
