How to use these pages
Christmas pages for preschoolers: Santa, a reindeer, a tree with baubles, a present, a stocking, a gingerbread man, a bell, an elf, a sleigh and a Santa hat. Each page is one subject with a 7pt outline and no tiny details to fill. Put on the music your family plays in December and color one at a time.
For a classroom, the ZIP download gives every page as a PDF. The tree and the stocking print well as cut-outs for a door or a window, and the gingerbread man makes a good name tag once it is colored.
What to expect at ages 3 to 5
Three-year-olds color the big shapes and name what they see. Four- and five-year-olds start coloring each bauble separately and will tell you a story about the sleigh while they work. Santa and the tree have the largest areas, so they are the easiest ones to start with.
Questions about these pages
When should I print these?
Any time from late November. Teachers usually use them in the two weeks before the winter break. The Winter collection covers snow and cold weather without Christmas references if you need that instead.
Are the lines thick enough for a 3-year-old?
Yes. Every page in this set is drawn at a 7pt outline, the preschool weight used across the site, so the shapes stay visible under a crayon and are wide enough for a child who is still learning to stay inside the lines.

Printing tips
Every page downloads as a PDF in A4 and US Letter. Print at 100% scale on plain paper. For toddlers, heavier paper (120 gsm or more) holds up better to enthusiastic crayon work. The ZIP bundles contain one PDF per page.
