One sheet with twelve of the best-loved Christmas motifs on it: a holly wreath, two gingerbread people, wrapped presents, a Santa hat, holly and bells, snowmen, a decorated tree, a pair of stockings, and the word CHRISTMAS in big outlined letters. Each motif stands on its own, so it works for one child or for a group sharing the page. Free to download and print for home, the classroom or care-home activities — no registration needed.

Tell us about a Christmas you remember.
Is there a Christmas food or decoration that has stayed in your memory?
Has the way people mark this occasion changed since you were a child?
What do you enjoy most at this time of year?
What do the symbols on this page mean?
Christmas falls on December 25 and is the Christian festival of the birth of Jesus. The motifs on this sheet are the things people decorate with: an evergreen wreath for the door, gingerbread figures, bells and holly, stockings hung up to be filled, and a tree with baubles and a star. In Japan the day is marked less in church than at home and in the street — Santa Claus, a Christmas cake and winter illuminations.
Can this coloring page be used for care-home activities?
Yes. Because the page is made up of a dozen separate motifs, a group can take one each and still finish the sheet together, and nobody has to commit to a whole scene. Which decoration went up first in your house? Did you ever hang a stocking, or bake anything shaped like these gingerbread figures? It makes an easy conversation starter in reminiscence-style sessions.
Any tips for a neat, polished result?
Work from the largest areas first and save the fine details for last. If you go over a line, a white correction pen can tidy it up. With colored pencils, layering lets you control how light or deep each shade looks.
