Three stacked tiers, each wider than the one above, make up the tree on this Christmas tree coloring page, and a five-point star crowns the top. Two curved garlands swing across the middle and bottom tiers. Six round ornaments hang in rows. A short trunk stands in a flower pot with a wide rim.
Heavy outlines for crayons, slim ones for pencils
On the easy sheet for ages 3 to 5, thick outlines keep a crayon inside the large tiers and the round ornaments. Thinner lines carry the same 13 parts on the standard sheet for ages 6 to 8, which leaves space to shade the branches or put a pattern on each ornament. The tree runs the full height of the sheet. Keep the A4 or US Letter PDF at 100 percent for an even margin from the star down to the pot.
December at home and in class
At home the tree makes a calm activity while the real one is going up. A finished copy can be cut out and taped to a window. In a UK class, the tree that Oslo sends to Trafalgar Square every year is a good story to tell during a Christmas tree colouring session. The rows of ornaments give a quick counting warm-up.
What to color
- A five-point star sitting on the very top
- Three stacked tiers that get wider toward the bottom, each with rounded corners
- Two curved garlands, one across the middle tier and one across the bottom tier
- Six round ornaments: one on the top tier, two in the middle and three along the bottom
- A short trunk standing in a flower pot with a wide rim
Tips
- Color the three tiers first so the ornaments and star pop against the green.
- Try a different shade of green for each tier to make the branches look layered.
- Give every ornament its own color, or pick two colors and alternate them.
- Color the garlands gold or silver, or add tiny dots along them for lights.
- Draw wrapped presents on the floor beside the pot before you start coloring.
Christmas Tree fun facts
- Firs, spruces and pines are evergreens, so they stay green through the winter months while many other trees are bare.
- Since 1947, the city of Oslo in Norway has sent a Christmas tree to Trafalgar Square in London each year as a thank-you for British help during World War II.
- A farmed Christmas tree usually grows for about 7 to 10 years before it is tall enough to cut.
Classroom ideas
- Preschool (ages 3 to 5): count the ornaments on each tier together, one, two and three, before choosing colors.
- Kindergarten: use the six ornaments for a pattern task, such as red, blue, red, blue, and check it with a partner.
- Grades 1 and 2: cut out the finished trees and line them up along a classroom wall as a winter forest.
- Grades 2 and 3: label each part, star, tier, garland, ornament, trunk and pot, as a quick vocabulary review.

Frequently asked questions
Will a chunky crayon fit inside the round ornaments?
The easy page was drawn for that. Its heavy outlines, for ages 3 to 5, keep a crayon inside the large tiers and the round ornaments. The standard page carries the same 13 parts in slimmer lines for ages 6 to 8 and colored pencils.
How are the ornaments arranged?
In rows of one, two and three: one on the top tier, two on the middle tier and three along the bottom, six in all. The two garlands swing across the middle and bottom tiers between them.
Does the tree come in other activities?
Yes. The same decorated tree is a 6-step how to draw sheet, a dot to dot with 31, 38 or 59 dots, two tracing worksheets, a 7-color color by number and a tree-shaped maze in two levels.
Are there presents or a background in the picture?
No. The tree stands alone on a white page, which leaves room to draw gifts, a rug or a window around it.
