Which page suits which age?
The labels are about how many shapes are in a picture and how big they are, not about a fixed age. Small hands do best with a few large spaces; older kids like more parts to fill.
| Label | What it looks like | Good for | Pages in this set |
|---|---|---|---|
| Very easy | One or two big shapes, very few small details | Toddlers and preschoolers, roughly 2 to 4 | Snowman, present, jingle bell, Santa hat |
| Easy | Several shapes and some small parts such as ornaments, berries or stripes | Preschool to early grade school, roughly 4 to 7 | Tree, candy cane, stocking, ornament, gingerbread man, wreath, reindeer, mittens |
How to print them
- Paper size: every PDF is laid out for US Letter. It also prints well on A4: choose "Fit to page" in the print box.
- Ink: the pages are black lines on white with no gray fills, so they use very little ink.
- Paper: normal printer paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils. For markers or watercolor, use cardstock so the color doesn't soak through.
- On a phone: open the PDF, tap Share, then Print.
Four ways to use the Christmas set
- A 12-day countdown. There are exactly 12 pictures. Print the set, put the pages in an envelope, and open one each day from December 13 to Christmas Eve.
- Homemade cards. Print a page at 50%, fold it in half, and the colored picture becomes the front of a card.
- A name stocking. The stocking has a wide cuff. Write each child's name across it before they color, and hang the finished pages up.
- Gift tags. The present, bell and candy cane are simple outlines. Color them, cut them out, punch a hole and tie them onto gifts.
Questions parents ask
Are these pages really free?
Yes. You can print as many copies as you like for your family or your classroom. Please don't sell them or upload them to other sites; see our terms of use.
Can I print them in a smaller size?
Yes. In the print box, set the scale to 50% or choose two pages per sheet. The lines are thick enough to still be clear at half size.
Will there be harder Christmas pages?
This first set is for younger children. We plan to add more detailed Christmas pages for older kids, and they will appear on this page when they are ready.
