Santa coloring pages

About these santa pages

Santa is the star of the season, and these pages show him at every stage of Christmas Eve: reading his list, loading the sleigh, flying over the rooftops, sliding down the chimney and enjoying the cookies left out for him. The easy pages have a big, simple Santa for ages 3 to 6; the medium scenes suit ages 5 to 9; and the detailed old-fashioned Santa and the moonlit sleigh are for older kids and adults.

A quick tip for Santa's suit: color the red first, then leave the fur trim white or shade it lightly with gray or light blue so it looks soft. Rosy cheeks in pink and a gold belt buckle finish the look.

The Santa-reading-his-list page makes a nice December activity: have your child color it, then write their own wish list on the back. More holiday pages are on the Christmas and Christmas tree pages.
