We are a crafty house. We have a room dedicated to crafting, where our many (many) bins of crafty bits are stored. My favorite pass time would have to be crochet, but until my boys are old enough to learn, they love to color, cut, and glue or tape pretty much everything and anything. The best Christmas activity I could think of for them – to customize a Christmas character or two starting with some printed inspiration.

When I started creating this activity set, my boys became so excited and begged me every day to print it out (even though all the pages were completely jumbled). The look in their eyes – absolutely priceless – when they saw the stacks of paper, wanting so badly for their little fingers to start creating. Something so simple will make them shake with anticipation.

Currently, they are spread out all over my dining room table. Bits of candy canes and snowflakes in a rainbow of colors, spread about waiting to be attached to a stocking or snow globe. I haven’t timed it yet, but I can guarantee it will take them many hours before they run out (and the best part, I can just print more pages and they can make something completely different).

And yes, they are coloring Christmas pages amongst Halloween decorations as it isn’t quite November yet! The stores are filled with Christmas decorations, and my favorite Hallmark Christmas movies have already started playing. We have become The Nightmare Before Christmas.

This is a perfect Christmas activity to keep the kids busy over the holiday season, for screen free fun. The coloring sheets are filled with fun characters and lots of items to color, cut and paste for hours. Print individual pages as mini activities, or print the entire file and let them go wild. Keep them busy while entertaining, or travelling over the holidays. Excellent for a homeschool activity or classroom kindergarten craft, to practice coloring and cutting skills and improving fine motor skills.
