Patterned Star-Topped Tree with Fluffy Garland and Presents

A tall Christmas tree topped with a star stands in the middle of the page, its branches filled with small repeating patterns like scallops, stripes, basket weave blocks, and leaf shapes. Fluffy garland loops across the tree in several rows, and round ornaments with zigzag, swirl, and star designs hang from the branches. A candy cane, a stocking with a bow, and a few more baubles are tucked in among the boughs. At the bottom, a pile of wrapped gifts surrounds the trunk, including boxes with dots, snowflakes, swirls, and stripes, plus a teddy bear, a bottle with a bow, and a party hat with a pom-pom. Try colored pencils or fine markers and give each pattern section its own color, so the scallops on the upper branches look different from the basket weave section. The small spaces also make this a nice page for a calm, slow afternoon.
