The Grinch Sneaking by the Fireplace with Gift Sack
Coloring guide
The Grinch creeps across the room in a Santa hat and a tattered, fur-trimmed coat, wearing a sly grin and slanted eyebrows. His long clawed fingers reach toward a Christmas stocking hanging from a brick fireplace. A candle sits on the mantel beside holly-style greenery with ornaments, and a small fire burns on the hearth. Behind him, a Christmas tree with round baubles stands next to a big sack with a few wrapped presents and a bow poking out the top. There are plenty of fuzzy fur textures and brick shapes for kids who like detail, and larger areas like the sack and stocking suit younger colorers. Try coloring the Grinch in bright green with a red hat, then give the stocking a bold stripe. This free printable works well for holiday activity time at home or in class.
