Free Christmas Coloring Sheets (Printable PDFs)

20. Suncatchers
You’re going to print a bold design (snowflakes, stars, ornaments) on transparency film or slip a paper print under a clear sheet as a guide. Then “color” inside the lines with small tissue-paper squares and a glue stick. When it’s dry, trim the edge and tape it to a sunny window so the colors glow on winter mornings.

19. Play Props
Choose pages with simple characters (snowmen, trees, mittens). You’re going to color just the figures and cut them out, then trace each onto cardstock and cut again. Paste the colored cut-out on top, tape a craft stick to the back, and let imaginations take over for living-room skits.

18. Christmas Tree Ornaments
You’re going to print small designs, color them, and back them with thin cardboard (a cereal box works). Punch a hole, add ribbon, and write the year on the back. For a polished look, seal with a light coat of glue or clear tape before hanging.

17. Nativity/Winter Mini Story Books
Pick 4–6 small scenes. Kids write one simple sentence under each picture, then color. Hole-punch the left side, tie with ribbon, and you’ve got a tiny keepsake book to read at bedtime.

16. Textured Stockings
You’re going to color stocking pages, then add texture: puffy paint for cuffs, buttons down the side, a sprinkle of glitter on the heel and toe. Let everything dry flat, then hang with a mini clothespin.

15. Party Decorations
Print a mix (snowflakes, lights, gingerbread). You’re going to color, cut, and tape to walls, doors, and cabinet fronts. To make garlands, punch holes at the top and string on twine with little knots between shapes.

14. Glittery Wreaths
Trace the wreath outlines with glue and sprinkle glitter, or use glitter pens for less mess. When dry, mount on colored paper and tape to the fridge or entryway. Instant sparkle.

13. Greeting Cards
You’re going to resize a favorite design to a quarter page or cut a nice section from a full page. Glue onto a folded blank card, add a short message, and tuck inside a cookie tin or neighbor gift.

12. Bookmarks
Color, cut long strips, and (optional) laminate. Punch a small hole and tie a ribbon tassel. Make a set for teachers or grandparents who love cozy winter reads.

11. Dear Santa Letters
Choose a page with open space. Kids color a border, then write a short letter and list. If the picture is too full, flip the page and use the blank back—still counts and looks adorable in a keepsake box.

10. Table Centerpieces
You’re going to color a large image (tree, village, wreath), glue it to cardstock, and tape a folded paper stand on the back. Set it in the middle of the table with pinecones or battery tea lights for a simple focal point.

9. Stand-Up Paper Tree With “Ornaments”
Color a tree page and glue to cardstock. Cut a small slit up the trunk. Make a little arch base with a matching slit and slide the two together so it stands. Glue pom poms or sticker “ornaments” on the branches.

8. Dioramas
Turn a small box on its side. Kids color and cut figures, leaving a 1–2 cm tab at the bottom. They fold the tab and glue figures inside for layers. Add cotton “snow,” a paper path, and a starry paper sky.

7. Pet Bandanas or Tee Transfers
You’re going to scan or clean up a colored design, print it on iron-on transfer paper, and press onto a pet bandana or plain tee (follow the transfer paper instructions). Cute and budget-friendly—and kids love helping peel the backing.

6. Christmas Crowns
Print a crown band or cut two long strips from cardstock. Kids color a favorite character or icon from their page, cut it out, and tape it to the front of the band. Fit to size and secure with tape or a stapler (grown-up hands for that part).

5. Window Clings (Puffy Paint Method)
Slip your coloring page into a page protector. You’re going to trace the lines with puffy paint, fill sections if you like, and let it dry a full 48 hours. Then peel carefully and press on clean windows for instant holiday cheer.

4. Mosaics
Pick a design with roomy spaces (stars, bells). Tear or cut small paper squares from scraps and glue them inside the lines like tiles. Older kids can make tiny pieces for extra detail; little ones can go big and bold.

3. Decorative Trays (Decoupage)
Grab an inexpensive tray and Mod Podge. You’re going to color and cut a favorite motif, brush a thin coat on the tray, place the cutout, smooth, and seal with 1–2 more thin coats. Dry completely before using for cocoa packets or cookies.

2. Classroom Stockings (Pocket Craft)
Kids color and cut one stocking. They trace it onto construction paper, cut, stack both layers, and staple around the edge, leave the top open. Punch a corner hole, add ribbon, and write names on the cuff. Surprise them with a small treat the next day.

1. Fluffy Buttoned Snowmen
You’re going to glue real buttons down the snowman’s front first. Then fill the body with cotton balls for a soft, 3D look and knot a tiny ribbon scarf around the neck. Let it dry flat and display on the fridge.

Helpful notes: let paint/glue dry fully, back thin paper with cardstock so shapes don’t curl, and for any “candle” craft use battery-operated lights only.
