Santa keeps busy here. He shoots a present down the chimney like a basketball, reads his map upside down and gets his sleigh stuck in a treetop. Some pages wait for your part: the Santa hat has a blank name tag, and the letter to Santa has three empty lines.
Start with a kawaii Santa or a North Pole scene. Print the PDF, or color online in your browser.
Coloring is the start. Pick one mission and the page becomes yours.
1Write a name on the blank tag of the Santa hat, then draw a small present hanging next to it.
2Fill the three empty lines of the letter to Santa with the wishes you would send to the North Pole.
3Draw how Santa gets his sleigh down from the treetop: a ladder, a crane or a very tall elf?
4Finish the story on the back of the page: where was Santa trying to go with his map upside down?
5Color the four gift tags, cut them out and tie them to the presents you wrap this year.
Ideas for Coloring Santa
Let the paper be the beardColor everything around Santa's beard, fur trim and pompom and leave them white, so they look soft and fluffy.
What if Santa wore green?Try a green, blue or purple suit on the vintage Santa or the folk art Santa.
White gel pen on a night skyColor the sky behind the sleigh dark, then add snowflakes and tiny stars on top with a white gel pen.
Cotton-swab snowShade the edges of the snowy rooftops with a light blue pencil and rub it softly with a cotton swab for a smooth, cold look.
FirelightIn the fireplace pages, start with yellow in the middle of the flames and add orange and red toward the tips.
Coloring onlineTap an area to fill it, zoom in for small details like the buttons on the nutcracker, and switch to Simple for twelve colors and a brush that stays inside the lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Santa pages suit teens and adults?
The realistic portrait, the vintage Santa, the stained glass and folk art Santas, the mandala, the pattern and the big scenes in Santa's study, the mail sorting room, the toy shop window and the model train village have the finest details and the most areas to fill.
Can I use a page for a Christmas craft?
Yes. The four gift tags are drawn to color and cut out, and the Santa pattern can wrap a small present. Print the PDF on US Letter paper.
Is Saint Nicholas the same person as Santa Claus?
Santa Claus grew out of Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century bishop of Myra known for giving gifts in secret. The name Santa Claus comes from Sinterklaas, his Dutch name.
When did Santa get his sleigh and reindeer?
An 1821 children's poem showed him in a sleigh pulled by a single reindeer. Two years later, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" gave him a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
