39 Free Christmas Tree Coloring Pages to Print

39 free printables Any paper size 300 dpi No sign-up

Twelve trees drawn on their own, and the rest with somebody hanging things on them: a raccoon in a sweater, a squirrel in a Santa hat, a mouse with a paintbrush, an elf holding a palette. One is not a tree at all but a stack of presents piled into the shape of one, with a bow on top where the star belongs. The branches are the reason these work: they are drawn as open tiers rather than a solid triangle, so every bauble sits in its own space.

Click any drawing to print it. The sheet opens in a new tab and the print dialog does the rest, with every paper size your printer offers. Prefer a batch? Tap + on each drawing you want, then print the whole pile in one go from your pile.

These printable Christmas tree coloring pages are free, with no account and no watermark. Every drawing is a 300 dpi PDF and prints on any paper size your printer takes, US Letter and A4 included. Print the Christmas tree coloring sheets in November and you will get them back covered in glitter by December.

What you will find on this page

Thirty-six trees, and no two are decorated the same way. One carries gingerbread men, another beaded garlands and candy canes, a third birds with berries and pinecones. There is a tree made of stacked presents with a bow on top, and a spiral candy tree a bunny is standing beside. The ornaments range from plain round baubles to geometric shapes to small animals hanging by their tails.

Half the page has somebody doing the decorating: a squirrel in a Santa hat reaching up, a raccoon hanging a candy cane, a teddy bear in a sweater, an elf with a paint palette, a mouse painting the star on top.

Easy Christmas tree coloring pages for toddlers

The plain trees are the ones to print for a young child. A triangle, a trunk, a star and eight round baubles. Nothing to get wrong, and a three-year-old will happily color every bauble a different color, which is exactly the point.

Trees with real pattern work

The busier sheets suit somebody who wants to sit down properly. The tree with intricate swirls, the one with icicles in a snowy landscape, the nutcracker standing beside a full display. These have small spaces and repeating shapes, which is the sort of thing an adult reaches for with a set of fineliners rather than a crayon.

The animals decorating them

If it is the animals you came for rather than the trees, they carry on elsewhere: the christmas coloring pages put them in Santa's workshop, and the winter coloring pages take them outdoors into the snow.

What to do with them once they are colored

Cut around a tree, fold a flap at the base and it stands up on a table. Do it three times at different sizes and you have a forest along the middle of the table.

A colored tree also makes a gift tag: cut it small, punch a hole in the star, thread it and write the name on the back. And a child who colors the plain tree can then be given a second copy to decorate differently, which turns one printable into two afternoons.

Printing your Christmas tree coloring pages

Are these Christmas tree coloring pages free?

Yes. Open the PDF and print. No account, no email address, no watermark across the branches, and no cap on the number of copies.

Which tree is simplest for a small child?

The plain tiered tree with a star and a handful of baubles. It is six or seven closed shapes and nothing else. The one with beaded garlands and candy canes, and the snowy landscape with icicles, take considerably longer.

Why are so many animals decorating the trees?

Because a tree alone is a shape, and a squirrel on a stepladder is a story. Children color the animal first and the tree second every time, and it keeps them at the table longer.

Is the pile of presents a mistake?

No. The boxes are stacked into a cone with a bow at the top, so it reads as a tree made of parcels. It is the busiest sheet here and the one adults tend to take.

What paper size should I print on?

Whichever is in the printer. More settings in the print dialog lists them, US Letter at 8.5 by 11 inches and A4 at 210 by 297 millimeters included. A tree is worth printing large if your printer goes past those.

Can I print a set for a classroom?

Yes. A December craft table, a card-making afternoon, a display for the corridor. Print as many as the room needs without asking. Selling the files is the only thing off limits.
