How to Print December Coloring Pages

All pages are A4 PDFs. Open the PDF, choose “Fit to page” in the print window and use plain printer paper. On US Letter paper the same setting scales the page to fit, so nothing gets cut off. For markers or paint, a heavier paper (about 28 lb or 100 gsm) stops the color from showing through. UK and Australian readers: these colouring sheets are made for A4, so print at 100% size.

Which December Coloring Page Is Right for My Child?

  • Ages 4-5: Pick pages with big shapes and a simple background, such as the snowflake mittens, the waving boy, the cocoa mug or the snowman.
  • Ages 5-8: Most scenes fit here, from sledding to wrapping a gift.
  • Ages 7 and up: Choose the busiest scenes, like the Christmas tree, the gingerbread house and the baking kitchen. They have small details that need fine pencils.

Fun Ways to Use These December Coloring Sheets

  • December coloring countdown: Number the pages and color one each day, then staple them into a booklet on the last day.
  • Homemade cards: Color a page, fold it and write a message inside.
  • Classroom or group activity: Print a page per child as a calm activity before a holiday break. You can print as many copies as you need for personal or classroom use.
  • After coloring, draw your own: Ask your child to draw one more December scene, such as what they do on a snowy day. These December drawings make a good memory page.

Tips for Coloring Snow, Lights and Cozy Scenes

  • Leave snow white, or shade it with a pale blue pencil for shadows.
  • Use a white crayon first on snowflakes, then color over them with watercolor or a light wash to make them stand out.
  • Color a fireplace or lamp in warm yellow and orange, and keep the room around it darker.
  • Draw sweaters and scarves with stripes or dots to match the pattern lines.
