Flying Santa with Two Reindeer Over Snowy Rooftops: Christmas for Kids
Coloring guide
Leaning forward in his sleigh with curly runners, Santa holds the reins while two smiling reindeer leap through the night sky ahead of him. The sleigh behind him is piled with wrapped presents, one with a bow, and a candy cane sticks up from the load. Both reindeer wear collars with jingle bells, and a big crescent moon and several scattered stars hang above. At the bottom of the page, snow-covered rooftops with brick chimneys, arched windows and a couple of little pine trees spread out below. The shapes are large and clear for young kids with chunky crayons, and the bells, bricks and gift wrap give older kids plenty of detail. Bright red suits Santa's suit and hat, and soft blue and purple on the snowy roofs will make the night feel cold. This free printable is a good pick for a holiday classroom or a quiet afternoon at home. Looking for more?
