Santa Tiptoeing Past Dog and Cat on Stairs

Santa Claus creeps down a staircase with a finger raised to his lips in a shushing pose, while carrying a long wrapped present with a bow in his arms. A smaller square gift with a ribbon tumbles through the air beside him. Below the railing, a floppy-eared dog stands on its hind legs and looks up at him, and a smiling cat stretches across the rug with its tail curled high. A framed Christmas tree picture hangs on the wall behind them. The shapes are big and the lines are bold, so it works well for younger kids using crayons or chunky markers. Try giving the two presents different wrapping patterns, like stripes on one and dots on the other, then talk about why Santa wants everyone to stay quiet. It is a free printable that suits a quiet holiday afternoon at home or in class.
