On this Christmas cookies coloring page, a simple round plate displays three large baked treats: a star cookie, a tree cookie, and a gingerbread man. Because the shapes are large and easy to tell apart, this coloring book page is a friendly pick for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary kids working with chunky crayons or washable markers.
Ideas for decorating the three cookie shapes
- The gingerbread man: Use warm cinnamon brown for the dough, then color the icing trim in bright red, green, or white.
- The tree cookie: Shade the branches in forest or lime green and add your own small dots of color as sugar sprinkles.
- The star cookie: Try golden yellow or icy blue, leaving a thin pale border around the edge to look like royal icing.
- The round plate: Frame the treats by coloring the rim of the plate in a contrasting holiday stripe or solid berry red.
Coloring and printing tips
- Paper weight: Use regular 20 lb (80 gsm) copy paper for wax crayons and colored pencils, or switch to 65 lb (160 gsm) cardstock so wet markers will not bleed through.
- Scale and size: Print the file in black and white at 100% scale on US Letter paper, or choose fit to page when printing on A4 sheets.
- Curious about the art: If you want to read about how I prepare sheets for the site, visit how my coloring pages are made.
- Classroom and home sharing: Every sheet is a free printable for personal, classroom, and homeschool tables, and not for resale per the terms and disclaimer.
