How to Use This Pack

Fourteen Santa coloring pages with no numbers or problems, each a whole scene in a frame with thick lines: Santa’s sleigh flying past the moon, the toy workshop, Santa checking his long list, elves wrapping presents, baking cookies and decorating a tall tree, Santa feeding the reindeer, reindeer flying practice, loading the sleigh, landing on a roof, Santa wriggling down the chimney, coming out of the fireplace, leaving presents under the tree, and his nap after Christmas. Print the pages you want; they are in black and white.

In the Classroom

Use the pages for a quiet activity, a class party, indoor recess or early finishers in the weeks before winter break. The scenes tell a story from the busy weeks at the North Pole to Christmas Eve: put the colored pages in order on a wall, or ask children to tell what happens in their picture and what might happen next.

At Home

Color a page together and talk about the story in the picture: what is each elf doing, where is the sleigh going next? Hang the finished pages up as decorations, or fold one in half to make a card.

Tips for Success

• Color the big parts first, like the sky or the wall, then the small ones
• Press lightly at first, then color again to make it darker
• Give every elf a different color hat or tunic
• A night sky can be dark blue, with yellow stars and moon
