Christmas Coloring Activities for Home and the Classroom
Classroom display: give each child a different page from one theme and put the finished pictures on the wall together. The Santa group and the snowman group work best for this.
Countdown routine: print page 45 once and color one link each morning in December. By Christmas Day the whole chain is colored.
Handmade cards: color a favorite page, cut it out, and fold it into a Christmas card. The wreath, the gingerbread house, and the classic snowman make good cards.
Color-pattern practice: pick a repeating pattern and use it across a page, like red, green, gold on the tree ornaments, or a different color on every link of the countdown chain.
Tips for Getting the Best Results When Printing
Print a test page first to check the size. Print at 100% rather than fit to page so nothing gets cropped. If you are printing for a whole class, print one page at a time rather than the whole set. For the countdown chain, cardstock holds up better than copy paper if you hang it up.
