Things to make with your santa claus coloring pages
Tell Christmas Eve in order
Color the map, the wrapping table, the sleigh crossing the moon and Santa placing gifts under the tree. Lay the four pages out in order and tell what happens from the planning to the delivery.
Plan Santa's day off
Pick the surfing, snow angel and ice fishing pages where Santa relaxes, color them in bright holiday colors and pin them up as a postcard wall from Santa's vacation.
Try a green Father Christmas
Many older pictures of Father Christmas show him in a green robe rather than red. Color the vintage page in greens and golds, then compare it with a classic red Santa from the same collection.
Each picture is an individual vector PDF. Print on US Letter, or choose “Fit to page” for A4. Try one copy first to check the margins.
