Set out one page and a few crayons for a Christmas coloring break. Save the other sheets for another afternoon, a classroom table or Christmas Eve.

Your Christmas activity setup

  • The free Christmas Activity Pack, printed on US Letter or A4 paper
  • Crayons or colored pencils, plus a pencil for the games
  • A flat table or clipboard
  • Optional for Santa’s Stop: milk, a cookie and a carrot, chosen with a grown-up

Choose the PDF that matches your paper. Print from the file, and use “fit to printable area” if the preview clips an edge. Keep page 6 with the grown-up for printing notes and answers.

  1. Start with the Christmas coloring placemat

    Page 1 combines Santa coloring, a mini maze, tic-tac-toe and a space to draw a gift. Let your child choose where to start.

    • Color Santa, then add a gift of your own.
    • Take turns placing an X or O. The first player with three in a row wins.

  2. Find, count and color with I Spy

    On page 2, find the candy canes, presents and snow people. Count one kind at a time, then color the pictures.

    Make counting easier: Point to or mark each picture as you count. The grown-up guide includes the totals.

  3. Help Santa finish the delivery maze

    Page 3 has a larger maze. Begin at START and follow the open path to FINISH.

    • Try the route with a finger before using a pencil.
    • Use the answer guide for a hint if a turn gets tricky.

  4. Decorate a Christmas tree

    Color the tree and ornaments on page 4, then add a special decoration. Invite your child to tell you about the decoration they drew.

  5. Set out Santa’s Stop on Christmas Eve

    Page 5 is a separate treat mat, with room for a name, milk, a cookie and a carrot for the reindeer. Write a name or draw a picture for Santa at the top.

    • Draw the treats in the spaces, or ask a grown-up to help set out real ones.
    • Keep the activity placemat for games and use this sheet for the Christmas Eve treats.
