How to Use These Christmas Stocking Coloring Sheets
Getting started is easy! Simply click on any of the images or links on this page, and the PDF coloring sheet will open in a new tab. From there, you can download or print the pages right away. You can also color them digitally on a tablet or iPad if you prefer to skip the markers and crayons.
All of the Christmas stocking coloring pages are designed to fit standard U.S. letter-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches), but they’ll also print nicely on A4 paper. Once printed, use crayons, colored pencils, markers, or even paint to fill your stockings with color and sparkle. These printable PDFs are great for classrooms, family nights, or holiday parties — and they make wonderful handmade decorations once colored!
Fun Things to Do With Your Christmas Stocking Coloring Pages
After coloring your Christmas stocking sheets, don’t just toss them in a pile — turn them into festive crafts that you can display, gift, or use in creative ways. Here are some fun project ideas to make the most of your Christmas stocking coloring pages!
1. Make Personalized Gift Tags
Print smaller versions of the coloring pages by adjusting your printer settings to print multiple images per page. Once colored, cut out the stockings and punch a small hole near the top. Loop a piece of ribbon or twine through the hole, and you’ve got adorable handmade gift tags! Write the recipient’s name on the back, and attach them to presents for a special personal touch.
2. Create a Stocking Garland
Color and cut out several stocking designs from your printable PDF sheets. Once finished, use a hole punch to make small holes on each side of the top edge. Thread a long piece of yarn or ribbon through the holes to create a garland. Hang it across your mantel, doorway, or classroom wall for a festive decoration that shows off everyone’s artwork.
3. DIY Holiday Cards
Fold a piece of cardstock in half and glue a colored Christmas stocking page (or part of it) to the front. Add glitter glue, cotton balls, or little sequins for sparkle. Write a holiday greeting inside, and you’ve got a homemade Christmas card that friends and family will love. It’s a great classroom craft idea, too!
4. 3D Paper Stockings
To make a paper stocking that can actually hold small treats, print two copies of the same coloring sheet. Color both, then cut them out carefully. Glue or tape the edges together, leaving the top open. Once dry, you can tuck in candy canes, small chocolates, or notes. This is a fun classroom or party activity that doubles as a gift holder!
5. Festive Window Decorations
Color your Christmas stocking pages using bright markers or watercolor paints. After they dry, carefully cut them out and tape them to your windows. When sunlight shines through, they’ll look like beautiful stained-glass decorations! For an extra touch, outline them with black marker to make the colors pop.
6. Stocking-Themed Advent Calendar
Print out 24 stockings from your free, printable PDF coloring pages. Label each one with a number from 1 to 24. Once they’re colored, hang them on a string using clothespins or tape them to a wall in order. You can attach a small treat or a note behind each one for kids to open daily until Christmas Eve. This fun countdown makes the holiday season even more exciting!
7. Holiday Place Cards
Turn your coloring sheets into personalized place cards for Christmas dinner. Color, cut, and fold mini stockings, then write each guest’s name on one. Stand them on plates or use a small clothespin to attach them to napkins. Your dinner table will look extra cheerful with these custom decorations.
8. Classroom Bulletin Board Display
Teachers can use these printable coloring sheets to decorate their classrooms. Have each student color their own stocking and write their name across the top. Display them on a bulletin board titled “Our Christmas Stockings.” It’s a simple, festive activity that builds community and adds a cozy holiday feel to the classroom.
9. Stocking Story Writing Activity
Encourage kids to use their creativity by pairing their coloring pages with a writing activity. After coloring, ask them to write a short story about what’s inside their stocking or who it belongs to. You can staple their drawing and story together to make a fun classroom booklet of holiday tales.
10. DIY Wrapping Paper
Print several coloring sheets on lightweight paper and color them in. You can use these to wrap small gifts, or let kids color directly on the pages as they wrap. It’s a wonderful way to make eco-friendly, personalized wrapping paper that stands out under the Christmas tree.
11. Christmas Ornament Craft
Shrink your printable PDF coloring pages down to a smaller size before printing. After coloring and cutting out the stockings, laminate them or cover them with clear packing tape for durability. Punch a hole at the top, thread a ribbon through, and hang them on your Christmas tree. You can even add glitter or a bit of cotton for a fluffy trim.
12. Stocking Puzzle Game
Print one coloring sheet and color it brightly. Then, cut it into pieces to make your own jigsaw puzzle! Mix the pieces up and see if your friends or family can put it back together. This is a simple and fun way to keep kids entertained during winter break.
13. Festive Scrapbook Pages
If you enjoy scrapbooking, these Christmas stocking coloring sheets make perfect additions to your holiday pages. Add photos from Christmas morning, decorate with your colored stockings, and jot down memories from the day. The printable PDFs make it easy to create matching themed pages year after year.
14. Santa’s Workshop Play Activity
For younger kids, print several stockings and let them pretend they’re Santa’s helpers filling stockings for Christmas Eve. Provide small stickers, pom-poms, and paper cutouts of toys or candy to glue “inside” the stockings. It’s a fun pretend-play activity that encourages imagination while using the coloring pages creatively.
15. Christmas Countdown Chain
Combine your colored stocking pages with a paper chain to make a countdown decoration. Write a fun holiday activity or positive message on the back of each stocking, then link them together with strips of colored paper. Tear off one each day as Christmas gets closer!
