Coloring page Reindeer in a Scarf Beside Gifts

A smiling reindeer in a striped scarf stands beside a tall stack of gifts tied with ribbons. It has wide antlers, big eyes, and a tuft of hair sticking up above its forehead. One front hoof reaches toward the boxes, while its tail peeks out on the left. Four presents are stacked on top of one another, with a large bow at the very top. A string of oval lights stretches across the illustration above the reindeer’s head. On the right, a lit candle and a decoration with a bow sit on a windowsill. A fence with upright pickets runs behind the reindeer and the boxes.

In preschool, this activity can spark a conversation about St. Nicholas Day gifts while children color together at their tables. Comparing the boxes gives children concrete examples to practice using the words “bigger” and “smaller.” This printable coloring page for kids includes both large spaces on the reindeer’s body and smaller details around the bows. The striped scarf offers a chance to create repeating color patterns of their own. The string lights add another opportunity to play with color. Alternate red and yellow to make the oval lights stand out along the decorative string. Use short colored-pencil strokes from the edges toward the center to fill small spaces, taking extra care with the narrow sections inside the bows.
