Easy Christmas coloring pages

Twenty-five Christmas pictures with thick, simple outlines that small hands can color inside: three Christmas trees, three Santas, stocking, present, candy cane, snowman, reindeer, star, bell, ornament, gingerbread man, hat, mitten, sled, cookies, hot cocoa, wreath, penguin, snowflake, lights, teddy bear. There is one big picture per page, with its name at the top for children who are learning to read. The pictures are drawn by us, not with AI. No email needed.

Christmas tree coloring pages

The set starts with three trees: a plain Christmas tree with a star, a tree with presents underneath, and a tall tree hung with round ornaments. Children can color every ornament and present a different color.

Santa coloring pages

Three Santa pages come next: a big Santa face with his hat and beard, Santa standing in his belted suit, and Santa riding in his sleigh with a present.

For toddlers

Two and three year olds do best with big shapes and few details, so every picture here is one big shape with only a few parts to color. Give them chunky crayons and tape the page to the table so it does not slide.

For preschool and kindergarten

Older children can color, then copy the name printed at the top of the page underneath the picture. They also like to add their own details: stripes on the candy cane, lights on the tree, a face on the snowman. Print only the pages you need; each picture is on its own page.

Ideas for using them

Put a stack on the kids' table at a Christmas party, with crayons in a jar. In a classroom, let each child pick a picture and hang the finished pages as a garland. At home, color one a day in December as a simple countdown. Colored pages also make cards for grandparents: fold the page in half and write a message inside.

Games with the same pictures

The same 20 pictures are used in our Christmas Picture Games for preschool: 4 I spy pages, a memory game with 20 pairs of cards to cut out and picture bingo with 8 cards. Nobody needs to read. 15 pages in US Letter and A4.

For more, the Christmas Kids Pack adds a scavenger hunt and kindergarten worksheets, $7. Try the free I spy pages first.
