About these reindeer coloring pages

This mix of reindeer coloring pages pairs holiday reindeer with the real animals of the far north. Ages 3 to 5 can color a big-eyed baby reindeer or a simple side view with large antlers. Ages 6 to 8 get a reindeer pulling a sled of presents and one ice skating on a pond, while kids 9 and up get a herd crossing the tundra and a busy stable at feeding time.

For teens and adults, the doodle reindeer and the Nordic folk wreath are packed with fine patterns. For a winter science tie-in, color the tundra herd and talk about how reindeer survive the cold: thick hollow-haired coats, wide hooves for snow and a diet of lichen.

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

Reindeer facts to share

  1. Reindeer are the only deer species in which females regularly grow antlers as well as males.
  2. In North America, wild reindeer are called caribou.
  3. Reindeer hooves change with the seasons: soft and spongy in summer, then firm with sharp edges in winter for gripping ice and digging snow.

Color idea: Blend a warm brown body into a cream neck mane and keep the antlers a lighter tan, then add a night sky of blues and greens if you choose the northern lights scene.

Reindeer coloring page questions

Which reindeer page suits young children?

The baby reindeer with tiny antlers is the simplest, with big eyes, a round body and almost no background. The side-view reindeer is a good next step because the antlers give children more small sections to color.

Do both male and female reindeer have antlers?

Yes. Males usually shed their antlers in late fall or early winter, while many females keep theirs until spring. So a reindeer with antlers in a December picture is quite likely a female.

What colors are real reindeer?

Real reindeer are mostly brown and gray, with a creamy white neck mane, belly and rump patch. Their coats look paler in winter. Kids can keep it natural or go festive with bright harness bells and scarves.
