Coloring page Santa’s Sleigh With Gifts and Bells
A large sleigh filled with gifts takes center stage in this St. Nicholas Day scene, with curved runners that catch the eye. Its tall sides have decorative curled ends and wide, open spaces to fill with color. Inside are boxes tied with ribbons, with a large envelope peeking out above them, its flap clearly outlined. Two bold bows decorate the gifts stacked on top. Behind the sleigh stands a house with a steep, snow-covered roof, a chimney, and windows divided into smaller panes. Decorative trim frames the door, setting the entrance apart from the rest of the house. In the upper right corner, two bells hang from a large bow with wide loops and long ribbon tails.
Enjoy this activity together at home as you get ready for St. Nicholas Day. Following the sleigh’s curved outlines helps children practice careful hand movements as they change direction. This printable coloring page for kids combines large open areas with smaller details in the windows and ribbons. Talking about where the envelope sits in relation to the gifts helps children practice words that describe the positions of objects. A bow can tie decorations together, just like the two bells shown here. Choose red and green for the bow above the bells, giving each wide loop around the center knot its own color. Use colored pencils to fill the larger spaces with light, parallel strokes, starting at the edges and gradually working toward the center.
Download and color the sleigh, gifts, and bow above the bells.
