Baby Reindeer Cuddled by Santa Claus
Coloring guide
In this cheerful Christmas scene, Santa wraps his arms around a smiling young reindeer. He's wearing his pointed hat with a big fluffy pom-pom, a fur-trimmed coat, a wide belt with a square buckle and chunky boots with fur cuffs. The little reindeer has big sparkling eyes, a round nose, two pointed ears, small antlers and a tiny tuft of fur on its chest. A small snow-dusted pine tree stands behind them on the right, with a few gentle snowy hills along the ground. Large open areas and bold, clean outlines keep it easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Go with a classic red and white outfit for Santa and warm browns for the reindeer, then add a bright red nose for a festive touch. It's a free printable that works for classroom activities or quiet time at home. Fans of Santa Claus coloring pages often like Disney Christmas and Christmas for Kids as well.
