Grinch-Style Creature Riding a Sleigh Piled With Gifts

Coloring guide
Here a furry little creature with a spiky tuft of hair and a mischievous, toothy grin sits in a sleigh with curly runners, holding the front rail in both fuzzy paws. Behind it, a tall stack of wrapped gifts with bows and polka dots is piled high. The setting is a snowy hill at night, with a big cratered moon, a handful of stars and two small pine trees at the edges. The character is cartoonish and not named, so kids can pick any color they like. The fur is great for pencil strokes or soft crayon texture, and the bold outlines keep it easy for younger kids. Green fur, red and gold presents and a deep blue sky would make the yellow moon pop. You can print it free as a PDF for a winter afternoon or a classroom holiday activity. This fits right in with our The Grinch coloring pages — see also Halloween and Halloween Masks.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the big red areas: color the sleigh interior, the coat and the gift boxes in bright red, leaving the white fur and snow empty.
- 2Fill the Grinch's face and hands with lime green, keeping the teeth and eye whites white.
- 3Color the sleigh rims, scrolls, runners and all the gift ribbons and bows in golden yellow.
- 4Add forest green to the trees, the green gift boxes and the tree tops, and use olive green and moss green for the darker gifts.
- 5Use pale blue for the snow shadows on the ground, and leave the fur collar, cuffs and tree snow white.
- 6Optional: Finish with pale gold on the moon and a light lemon touch on the eyebrows for extra sparkle.
