Christmas ornament coloring pages

These Christmas ornament coloring pages are all about the decorations themselves: a bauble with a big snowflake, one with wide stripes and a bow, three baubles of different sizes on a fir branch, and a paper chain hung with stars and hearts.

The striped bauble, the snowflake, the paper chain and the star and bell pair are simple and roomy enough for little hands. The bauble with a snowy cottage inside, the carved wooden ornaments and the mandala bauble ask for a sharper pencil and more time.

Color these with metallic markers or glitter glue on just a few details and they turn into real decorations. Cut each bauble out along its outline, glue it to thin cardboard, punch a hole at the top and thread a ribbon through it.

The basket of ornaments with tinsel spilling over the rim makes a good page to color together while the real tree is being decorated. In a classroom, each child can finish one bauble, and the whole set can hang on a string across the window.
