How to print a Santa coloring page

  1. Pick a Santa and tap Print

    Print opens your browser print dialog with only the coloring page on the sheet, no menus or ads.

  2. Choose Letter or A4 paper

    In the United States choose Letter (8.5 x 11 in). Most other countries use A4. Both fit without cropping.

  3. Set scale to Fit or 100%

    Use Fit to page or Actual size. Turn off headers and footers in More settings for a clean border.

  4. Or download the PDF

    The PDF button saves a print-ready US Letter file you can print later or send to a classroom printer.

Easy Santa coloring pages for preschoolers

Easy Santa coloring pages show Santa Claus with bold outlines and big areas to fill: his red suit, white beard, black belt and boots. The easy group includes Santa waving with his toy sack, Santa sitting in a chair beside the presents, Santa waving next to a cartoon reindeer and a round, cuddly Santa hugging a baby reindeer. Children aged 3 to 6 can color them with chunky crayons or washable markers.

Santa Claus coloring pages with portraits and scenes

Medium Santa Claus coloring pages have more lines and smaller spaces. This set includes Santa standing in front of a log cabin between two Christmas trees, a classic Santa holding a small gift, a large Santa face with a fluffy beard and a smiling Santa pointing with one finger. Kids aged 6 to 10 like these pages for practicing the traditional Santa colors: red, white, black and gold.

Detailed Santa coloring pages for adults

Detailed Santa coloring pages for teens and adults have sketched textures and patterned clothing. The set includes a sketched Santa in the falling snow, Santa with a curly beard and a dotted suit carrying a big sack, and a funny scene of Santa Claus asleep on a pile of presents after the Christmas Eve delivery. Colored pencils such as Crayola, Prismacolor or Faber-Castell work best on the fine lines.

Santa coloring pages printable as PDF and PNG

Every Santa coloring page on this page is free to print for personal, family and classroom use. The PDF version is sized for US Letter paper with a 0.4-inch margin. The PNG version is a black-and-white image on a white background, so it also works in tablet drawing apps such as Procreate and Ibis Paint.
