Filling almost the entire sheet, this holly berries coloring page features a bold botanical sprig made up of three large, spiky leaves, clusters of round berries, and a thin ribbon tied at the stem. The generous leaf areas make it a satisfying coloring sheet for older kids and for adults who enjoy layering colored pencils, while still being simple enough for younger children using markers. Spending twenty minutes shading leaves is a quiet, screen-free, hands-on activity during a busy week.
Real holly plants and winter greenery
- Evergreen leaves: Holly is hardy winter greenery known for its glossy, wavy-edged leaves that stay deep green after autumn trees lose their foliage.
- Safety around the house: While real holly sprigs look lovely on mantels, real holly berries are toxic if eaten, so always keep fresh clippings out of reach of small children and pets.
- Shading ideas: Try blending two or three shades of green across the three large leaves, then use bright crimson for the berry clusters and gold or silver for the thin ribbon.
Coloring and printing tips
- Paper recommendations: Copy paper (20 lb / 80 gsm) holds colored pencil layers well, whereas thicker cardstock (65 lb / 160 gsm) is best if you want to color the finished sprig with markers and cut it out.
- Scale and format: Print the US Letter PDF download at 100% scale in black and white, or select fit to page when printing on A4 paper.
- Behind the scenes: You can learn more about my artwork on the how my coloring pages are made page, and check the disclaimer for personal, classroom, and homeschool use rules (never for resale).
