Why color january pictures?

January is the first month of the year in the Gregorian calendar, which is used in most of the world. Since this month marks both the beginning and the end, it's no surprise that its name comes from the god Janus, who had two faces, one looking forward and the other looking back (the past and the future).

January is also a month with varied weather in different parts of the world. In the northern hemisphere, it's the coldest month of the year, while in the southern hemisphere, it's the hottest month of summer.

And so the year can start with all the good energy you have to offer, at Coloring Together we've gathered the best January images to color. That way you'll begin the first month of the year doing an activity you enjoy!

And that's not all: above each one of the January coloring pages you'll find a little interesting fact that will surprise you and help you decipher the mysteries hidden behind this month that closes and opens new cycles.
