December fills up fast, so the Christmas and winter printables sit together here for days when something has to be on the table quickly. There is a decorated tree with a star and garlands, a waving snowman in a top hat, a reindeer, a gingerbread man with a bow tie and a round penguin in a cozy scarf. Each one is a free PDF in A4 and US Letter.

All of these subjects have coloring pages in an easy and a standard version, tracing sheets, a step-by-step drawing guide, dot to dots at three levels and mazes cut in the shape of the drawing. The tree, the snowman and the reindeer add a color by number with an answer page. For a puzzle, the Christmas Eve spot-the-difference draws a cottage, a decorated tree and wrapped gifts twice, with a key that circles every change.

A winter pack in three sheets

Join the reindeer’s dots, color the snowman, then draw a gingerbread man freehand. Teachers tend to save the spot-the-difference for the days before winter break, when a calm task with no new instructions beats a new lesson. Plain copy paper is fine for every sheet. At actual size, 100 percent, the outlines keep the thickness they were drawn with.

Frequently asked questions

Which Christmas printables work for the last week of school?

Color by number sheets and dot to dots are the easiest to run with a whole class, because children can work alone without new instructions. The coloring pages suit the youngest groups.

Can the Christmas sheets be used as decorations?

Yes. A colored reindeer, snowman or gingerbread man can be cut out and strung across a window, and the decorated tree makes a good front for a homemade card on folded paper.

Which Christmas sheets come with an answer key?

The Christmas Eve spot-the-difference has a key that circles every change between its pictures of the cottage, the tree and the wrapped gifts. The tree, snowman and reindeer color by number sheets each have an answer page.

Are the Christmas pages religious?

No. They show winter and holiday scenes, such as a tree with a star and garlands, a waving snowman, a reindeer and a snowy cottage on Christmas Eve, so they suit mixed classrooms, including UK schools that want Christmas colouring with no nativity scene.
