About these christmas tree coloring pages

These Christmas tree coloring pages cover the whole season, from a tree standing in a snowy field to a family hanging ornaments and a town square lit up at night. The easy trees have big tiers and round baubles for ages 3 to 5, the medium pages add a family, a car or a curious kitten for ages 6 to 8, and the hard scenes suit kids 9 and up.

Teens and adults can settle in with the doodle tree, the old-fashioned parlor and the tree mandala. For a classroom display, have each student color a tree, cut it out and add it to a bulletin board forest, or glue one to folded cardstock to make a homemade holiday card.

Also in christmas coloring pages, winter coloring pages and kawaii coloring pages.

Christmas Tree facts to share

  1. Decorating evergreen trees for Christmas became popular in Germany centuries ago, and German immigrants helped spread the custom in America.
  2. Before electric lights, families trimmed their trees with candles, apples, nuts, cookies and homemade paper chains.
  3. A farm-grown Christmas tree takes about seven years, on average, to reach a typical living-room height.

Color idea: Use two or three greens on the branches, darker near the trunk and lighter at the tips, then let metallic gel pens pick out the baubles, garlands and star.

Christmas Tree coloring page questions

Which Christmas tree page suits toddlers and preschoolers?

Try the tree with a star on top or the little tree with presents underneath. Both have a simple triangle shape, a few large ornaments and almost no background, so young children can color them in one sitting.

How can kids make the tree lights look like they glow?

Leave a small white dot in each bulb, color the bulb in a bright shade around it, and add a soft yellow halo on the branches nearby. The untouched white spot reads as a reflection and makes each light look switched on.

Are there detailed Christmas tree pages for adults?

Yes. The expert level has a doodle tree filled with swirls and scales, an old-fashioned parlor tree with paper chains and wooden toys, and a round mandala made of tiny trees, stars and holly.
