Christmas coloring pages

24 coloring pages

December is when kids will happily sit at the table the longest: it gets dark early, the house smells like cookies, and Christmas Eve takes forever to arrive. Every page is a Christmas scene with a joke, like Santa stuck in the chimney or a cat sitting on top of the tree instead of the star.

The easy pages with big spaces work from about age 2 or 3; the ones with more detail suit preschoolers and elementary kids. Every page prints right away or downloads as a PDF.

How to print the coloring page

Click “Print” and only the picture goes on the sheet, without the rest of the page. To keep the file for later, download the PDF: it's already set up with a margin, so the printer won't cut anything off.

What to do with a finished picture

Christmas card

Fold a sheet of paper in half, glue the finished picture on the front and leave room inside for a message and your child's name.

Tree ornament

Cut out the colored snowman or reindeer, glue it onto cardboard, punch a hole and thread a ribbon through it.

Advent coloring calendar

Print several pages and color one a day until Christmas Eve, then hang them in a row on the wall.

Questions from parents

What age are these Christmas coloring pages for?

The easy ones with big spaces and bold lines already work for two- and three-year-olds. Pages with more detail are a better fit for kids ages 5 to 8.

Can I print them for my classroom?

Yes. They're free for home and educational use, including a whole class. The only thing you can't do is sell them.

How do I print without anything getting cut off?

The PDF is the safest option since it already has margins. The “Print” button also prints only the picture, without the rest of the page.
