This reindeer coloring page features a standing reindeer with a round muzzle, wide branched antlers, and a winter scarf tucked neatly around its neck. The open areas on the body and scarf make this coloring sheet easy for preschoolers, and the branched antlers give older kids and adults a satisfying area to fill in with fine-tipped colored pencils or markers.
Real reindeer in winter
Reindeer, known as caribou in North America, are the only deer species in which both males and females grow antlers. Mature male reindeer shed their antlers in late autumn or early winter, while females keep theirs right through the winter until spring. That means any antlered reindeer pictured pulling a sleigh in late December would actually be female.
