What is on these Christmas coloring pages
Decorating the tree with ornaments and candy canes, presents by a fireplace hung with stockings, and Santa stopping his sleigh in the snowy village to wave hello. These are new Christmas pictures, not pages from our sample book, but every scene has the same girl with braids and little dragon, drawn as black outlines ready to color.
The shapes are big and closed, so even a three-year-old can fill in an ornament or a present. Older kids will find plenty of small details: stars on the tree, snowflakes outside the window and the snowman’s carrot nose.
How to print them
A few things that make printing easier:
- Click PDF to open one page sized for A4 paper. On US Letter paper, choose Fit to page in the print window.
- Print in black and white: the pages have no gray, so they use very little ink.
- Regular printer paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils. For markers or watercolor, thicker paper keeps the color from bleeding through.
- Save the PNG if your child colors on a tablet.
Ideas for Christmas coloring time
Color the ornaments on the page to match the ones on your own tree. Your child can walk over to the tree, count the red and gold ornaments, then copy them onto the paper.
A colored page makes a good Christmas card. Fold it in half, write a few words inside and send it to grandparents or a friend who lives far away.
Print a few pages when cousins come over. Coloring together at the kitchen table keeps the kids busy for a good while as the grown-ups finish getting dinner ready.
A Christmas story with your child as the hero
The girl and the dragon on these pages come from a sample book made with minibooks. You can make a story like that with your own child in every picture: type their name, age and a few words about how they look, pick a style and say what the story is about, maybe waiting up for Santa.
The cover and first pages are free, usually in 2–3 minutes. If you like them, the whole book is $14.99, paid once: the cover and 12 illustrated pages to read online and as a PDF to print.
