Ideas while you color

His coat is red, fine. But what color are his mittens, his boots, his sack? Our book gives him brown boots and a brown belt.
Who's it for?
Write a name on one of the presents poking out of the sack, then color that present first.
A Santa for the door
Color the waving Santa, cut him out and tape him to the front door on Christmas Eve.
How to draw Santa: Draw Santa yourself in six steps, then color him in.
Our own book

Questions
Grown-ups ask
Which Santa coloring page is best for a toddler?
Santa's hat: three big shapes, the hat, the trim and the pom-pom. The balloon is a good one too. The Santa pictures have more small shapes (his glasses, his buckle), so they suit ages 4 and up.
Why is Santa in a hot air balloon?
Because that's how he travels in our picture book, The Christmas Secret: a red and white balloon that plays a tune, with a candy cane hanging under the basket. He has a sleigh too, but he keeps it in his pocket.
How do I print these coloring pages?
Press US Letter or A4 under a picture and print the PDF at 100%, or "Actual size". Each picture is one page, free, with no sign-up. Every Christmas coloring page in one file comes by email, from the box on this page.
Can my child color them on a phone or tablet?
Yes, at the top of this page, with a finger. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere, and Save the picture keeps a copy on your device.
Can I print them for my class?
Yes, as many copies as your class needs. The cards say which ages each picture suits, so a mixed class can take one each.
