December Coloring Pages

42 free PDFs

December preparations fill two detailed indoor scenes. A baker decorates gingerbread people, hearts and stars in a warm kitchen, while an elf wraps presents at a workshop table surrounded by paper, ribbon and toys. Outdoors, a cardinal perches on a snow-covered fence and a deer drinks from a stream in snowy woods.

Winter light becomes the focus beneath a glowing streetlamp where a child catches snowflakes, then widens into sweeping sky bands above an arctic fox on a snowy hill. Stars, flakes and ribbon curls can repeat across kitchen, workshop and outdoor settings.
