Free Printable Christmas Present Coloring Pages

Choosing Colors for Holiday Gifts

When coloring these pages, you can stick to traditional holiday colors or try something completely new. Classic wrapping paper often features deep reds, forest greens, and metallic golds. For a modern winter look, try icy blues and silvers, or use bright pastel colors for a playful style.

The simple gift boxes give young children plenty of room to practice staying within the lines while experimenting with different crayon combinations. You can even encourage kids to draw their own patterns, like tiny stars or snowflakes, on the plain boxes before they start coloring.

Creative Ways to Use Finished Pages

These coloring sheets can serve multiple purposes during the holiday season beyond just a quiet afternoon activity. Teachers and parents can incorporate them into various winter crafts.

• Cut out the colored stacks of presents to use as oversized, homemade gift tags for family members.
• Use the finished pages featuring smaller designs as custom wrapping paper for tiny jewelry boxes or stocking stuffers.
• Display cozy scenes of gifts gathered near the fireplace as festive classroom or hallway wall art.
• Have students color a teddy bear popping out of a box to practice their fine motor skills before the winter break begins.
