10 Christmas Color by Number Pages (Free Printables)

By Zen Vibes Editors · Published

Christmas color by number pages get used in one specific way: a stack on the kitchen table in December that gets shorter every day. This set was drawn for that. The quick ones are a single big ornament, a stocking with stars, a candy cane with a bow, a gingerbread person with icing buttons, a snowman in a scarf. A few big shapes each, and a short key, so a small child finishes one before the cocoa cools.

The middle pages are the season in full: a decorated tree with gifts underneath, a pile of wrapped presents, a mug of cocoa with marshmallows next to a plate of cookies. The two big pages are the scene stealers, a fireplace with three stockings hung and a rug in front, and a sleigh with two reindeer flying over snowy rooftops under the moon. Red, green, and gold come out of every page without anyone deciding, which is the point of the numbers.

How to print these pages

  1. Pick the paper size that matches what is in your printer: US Letter or A4.
  2. Open the PDF and choose Print. Set scale to 100 percent or “actual size” (not “fit to page”).
  3. Plain copy paper works for crayons and pencils. Use heavier cardstock for markers or paint.

Print at actual size on plain copy paper. Red and green carry most pages; a light blue for skies and a gray for snowmen are the other colors worth checking before a class set.

Mostly red and green

The keys lean on red, green, and yellow, with brown for gingerbread and light blue or gray for snow. A basic crayon box covers every page. If you only have one green, use it for both greens and the picture still reads.

Countdown idea

Print a page for each day in December and let a child pull the day's page from a stocking. The easy ones go early in the month; the fireplace and the sleigh are for the last week, when the wait is longest.

Ideas for using these pages

  • Countdown: print one page for each day in December and let children pick the day's page from a stocking.
  • Gift tags: the easy ornament and stocking pages, colored and cut out, work as tags on presents.
  • Window display: finished snowman and tree pages taped to a classroom window read well from outside.
