Seven Patterned Baubles Hanging From a Pine Bough

Seven round Christmas ornaments hang from a pine branch with sketchy, needle-like lines across the top of the page. Each ball has its own pattern. One has scattered dots and oval holes, one has a zigzag starburst near the top, and one has a raised circle in the middle with ringed bands. Another has wavy stripes with a few small stars. The lower ornaments are covered in outlined stars, and one has a band of tiny star shapes around its middle. Every ornament has a little cap and a thin string or ribbon. Try giving each ball a different color scheme, such as cool blues on the starry ones and warm reds on the wavy one, then leave the branch green. The mix of large and small areas works well for kids practicing careful coloring, and you can print it free for a quiet holiday table activity at home or in class.
