25+ Free Christmas Coloring Pages for Kids

Thirty-two Christmas coloring pages, free to print. Simple pictures in clear thick outlines — trees, stockings, reindeer, snowmen, presents and more — drawn for young children rather than for adults.

Made simple on purpose

Most Christmas coloring pages online are intricate: fine detail, thin lines, tiny gaps. They look impressive and they are miserable for a four-year-old, who colours over everything and loses interest.

These are the opposite. Big shapes, thick outlines, plenty of open space. A child who cannot yet stay inside the lines still finishes with something that looks like the picture.

Thirty-two pages, so a class does not run out

• A whole December of activities — one page a day through Advent.
• Wet playtime. Print a stack and keep it by the door.
• Wrapping paper and gift tags. Colour a page, cut the picture out, stick it on a plain bag.
• Paper chains and decorations. Colour, cut, hang.
• Something to do on the journey at the end of term.

Colouring is doing more than it looks like

Holding a pencil and steering it round a shape is the same grip and the same control that writing needs. A child who colours a lot arrives at handwriting with the hard part already half learned — which is why colouring earns its place in a school day rather than just filling one.

Printing

Print at 100%, one page per sheet. All thirty-two pages are in the single PDF below, so print only the ones you want rather than the whole file.
