    Make Christmas Coloring Pages

    Your creative buddy says:
    "Are you as excited to make this as I am?"

    Heads up! Some supplies may trigger allergies. Check with a grown-up before using them.

    Step 1: Print the pages

    May need grown-up help
    Download and print the Christmas coloring pages.

    Step 2: Color the pictures

    Use your crayons or markers to color the pictures.

    Step 3: Add decorations

    Add texture to your pictures by gluing on tissue paper or cotton balls. Use washi tape to add fun patterns. If you use hot glue for decorations, ask an adult for help.

    Step 4: Try new ways to color

    Tape your coloring page to a wall or the bottom of a table to color in a new position. This helps your muscles get stronger.
