Fun Things To Do With Your Santa Coloring Pages
These Santa coloring sheets aren’t just for coloring! Once your pages are complete, there are plenty of fun and creative ways to use them for holiday crafts, gifts, and decorations. Here are some easy and festive ideas:
1. DIY Santa Christmas Cards
Turn your finished Santa coloring pages into one-of-a-kind Christmas cards! Cut out your colored Santa design and glue it onto a folded piece of cardstock. Add a holiday message inside like “Merry Christmas!” or “Ho Ho Ho!” You can even sprinkle a bit of glitter around the edges for extra sparkle. These handmade cards are perfect for giving to teachers, grandparents, or friends.
2. Santa Gift Tags
Shrink your Santa designs by printing the PDF at 25% or 50% of its original size. Color and cut them out to make adorable holiday gift tags. Punch a small hole at the top and tie them with red or green ribbon to your presents. Each gift will have a personalized and festive touch that everyone will love.
3. Holiday Ornaments
Make Christmas tree ornaments with your printable coloring pages! After coloring your favorite Santa images, cut them out and glue them onto sturdy cardstock or thin cardboard. Punch a hole at the top, thread a ribbon through it, and hang it on your tree. You can even laminate the ornaments to keep them safe for years to come.
4. Santa Garland Decoration
Create a cheerful Santa garland to hang across a mantel or classroom wall. Print several Santa coloring sheets and color each one differently. Cut them out and attach them to a long piece of twine or string using clothespins or tape. The bright colors and happy Santas will instantly make any room feel merry and bright!
5. Santa Storybook
Make a mini storybook by combining several Santa coloring pages. Once colored, arrange them in a fun order to tell your own Christmas story—maybe Santa gets lost in the snow or discovers a new reindeer! Staple or hole-punch the sides and tie them with ribbon to make a handmade book that kids can read and share during the holidays.
6. Christmas Table Placemats
Laminate your completed Santa coloring pages and use them as festive placemats for your holiday meals. Not only will they keep your table clean, but they’ll also bring smiles to everyone at the dinner table. You can even personalize each placemat with a family member’s name written in colorful markers.
7. Santa Wall Art
Frame your favorite Santa coloring sheets and hang them as Christmas decorations around your home. Use red, gold, or green frames to match your holiday theme. This is a great way to showcase kids’ artwork and make your home feel even more magical during the season.
8. Santa Countdown Calendar
Turn your printable coloring pages into a Christmas countdown calendar! Choose 25 small Santa images, color them, and glue each one to an envelope. Number the envelopes from 1 to 25 and hang them in a row on a string. Each day in December, open one envelope and enjoy a small treat or holiday activity leading up to Christmas Day.
9. Santa Gift Wrap
Use your colored Santa pages as unique wrapping paper for small gifts. Print out several pages on standard printer paper, color them, and wrap small boxes, books, or candy with them. Tie the gifts with ribbon, and you’ll have custom wrapping paper that’s both creative and personal.
10. Classroom Bulletin Board
Teachers can use these Santa coloring sheets to decorate classroom bulletin boards. Have each student color their own Santa and write their name or a holiday wish on it. Arrange them on a big red or green background paper to create a “Santa’s Workshop” display. It’s a great way to make the classroom feel festive and showcase student artwork.
11. Holiday Party Hats
Cut out and glue colored Santa faces onto paper party hats. Add cotton balls for Santa’s beard and a pom-pom on top of the hat. These are perfect for classroom Christmas parties or family gatherings. Everyone can wear their own Santa hat and join in the fun!
12. Santa Window Decorations
Print your Santa coloring pages on thin paper or tracing paper, color them with bright markers, and tape them to your windows. When the sunlight shines through, they’ll look like stained-glass art! It’s a simple and cheerful way to decorate your home for the holidays.
13. Santa Bookmarks
Cut long strips from your colored pages to create festive bookmarks. Laminate them for durability and punch a hole at the top to add a small ribbon or tassel. These make wonderful little gifts for classmates, teachers, or anyone who loves to read.
14. Santa Puzzle Craft
After coloring your favorite Santa page, glue it onto cardboard and cut it into puzzle pieces. Mix them up and try putting it back together again. This is a great activity for kids during the holidays and can be reused year after year.
15. Santa Gift Box Covers
Use your Santa coloring sheets to decorate plain gift boxes or tins. Glue the colored images onto the lids or sides for a personal touch. These boxes can hold cookies, candies, or small gifts and make thoughtful homemade presents.
