When my kids were little, I collected tons of printables to put together in an activity book on our holiday road trips to visit family. And actually, I love to color too.
I’ve rounded up some of the best printable Christmas coloring pages for kids and adults. Many of these are fantastic for any time in winter and I even found a few for other seasonal holidays.
What do you do with the finished coloring pages?
I’ve been an advocate for throwing away (or recycling, if you can) some of your kids’ artwork. Save the special pieces, but don’t feel bad about letting some of it go.
Christmas coloring pages are also perfect for:
- Making Christmas ornaments
- Making greeting cards (or sending to family inside your card)
- Wrapping presents
- Laminating for placemats
- Mod Podge onto tile for coasters
- Cut up for other paper crafts
