Christmas Tree Color by Number with 7 Colors
Seven colors, 15 spaces and no white gaps: a color by number Christmas tree for ages 9 to 12, with a star, six ornaments and a colored answer page.
Choose a level
The garlands on this Christmas tree color by number are curved lines, and each one closes off a band at the top of its tier. That band gets its own number 1, so both sides of the line end up green. Count those two bands together with the star, three tiers, six round ornaments, a trunk and a pot with a rim, and the tree has 15 spaces. Every one holds a number. A finished page has no white gaps inside the tree.
Seven colors, one hard sheet
Green, number 1, fills the three tiers and the two garland bands. Red, number 2, is on two ornaments and the pot, and orange, number 3, is on the rim across the top of the pot. Yellow, number 4, takes the star and the middle ornament of the bottom row, while blue, number 5, takes the top ornament and the right ornament of that row. The trunk is brown, number 6. Purple, number 7, appears only once, on the left ornament of the middle tier. No two of these colors can be combined without two parts running together, so this is the tree’s only level, marked hard for ages 9 to 12.
Small ornaments
Each ornament is a small circle with its number inside. Fit to page would shrink those numbers, so the A4 or US Letter file needs to print at 100 percent. Under the picture, the key spells out each color name in words beside its swatch. The tree in full color is on the second page of the Letter or A4 PDF, handy for checking or for a child who likes to see the goal first.
Skills practiced & tips
- Start with number 1, since the three green tiers are the biggest spaces.
- Color the small ornament circles next, before the green gets close to them.
- Number 2, red, is on two ornaments and the pot, so check each 2 before moving on.
- Purple number 7 appears only once, on the left ornament of the middle tier.
- Each curved garland line closes off a band at the top of its tier. The band has its own 1, so both sides of the line are green.
- Compare the finished tree with the answer page and talk about any differences.

Classroom ideas
- Grade 4: line up green, red, orange, yellow, blue, brown and purple in key order and check each one against its swatch before coloring.
- Grades 4 and 5: count how many parts use each number and record the totals in a tally chart or bar graph.
- Grades 5 and 6: after coloring, students design a new ornament key for the same tree and explain which colors they kept.

Frequently asked questions
How many colors are on the Christmas tree page?
Seven. Green is 1 for the tiers, red is 2 for two ornaments and the pot, orange is 3 for the pot rim, yellow is 4 for the star and one ornament, blue is 5 for two ornaments, brown is 6 for the trunk and purple is 7 for one ornament.
Why is there only a hard level?
The tree uses seven different colors, and an easy or medium sheet allows at most four or six. None of these colors can share a crayon without losing a part, so the tree comes as one hard sheet for ages 9 to 12. Younger children can follow along with a grown-up reading the key, or try the 59-dot tree dot to dot or the tree coloring page.
Are any parts left white?
No. All 15 spaces carry a number, so the tree, the trunk and the pot all get colored. Only the paper around the drawing stays white.
What are the curved lines on the tiers?
They are garlands. Each one closes off a band at the top of the middle or bottom tier, and the band has its own 1, so both sides of the line are green.
