Santa coloring pages

About these coloring pages

Santa Claus is the star of these free coloring pages. He waves hello, squeezes down a chimney, rolls out cookie dough and skates across a frozen pond. He hugs a reindeer, sets presents under the tree and reads a list so long it rolls across the floor. The easy pages have a round, chubby Santa with thick outlines, made for toddlers and preschoolers with chunky crayons. Medium pages add a kitchen, a rooftop or a living room around him. The detailed pages fill a toy workshop with shelves of toys and wrap a Santa face in rings of holiday patterns. Those suit older kids, teens and adults who like small spaces and colored pencils. Most kids color Santa's suit red, but there is no rule. Old pictures of Father Christmas sometimes show him in a long green robe. Leave the beard and fur trim white, or add a little light gray so they show up on white paper. These pages work well for a Christmas Eve countdown, a classroom party or a letter to Santa. Each page lists its own age range, so you can pick the right one for each child.

These library pages are free for personal and classroom use. Read the license.
