My gift to them is my gift to you. (At least those of you with a box of crayons hidden somewhere.)


Over the Thanksgiving weekend I had the opportunity to do a little bit of coloring with my nieces. When I was told that one of them loves to color all of the time, I decided to make coloring books as Christmas & Solstice gifts for them.

It has been fun making simple drawings with my black sharpie marker, and thought I could pass them on to someone else as well.

So, here they are, free printable coloring pages that can be made into a book or printed as single pages.

Click on the images to enlarge them, and then print on paper or card stock.

Be sure to "print preview" before you print to make sure the images will print in your printer well. You may need to adjust the size to 50% or use a "make it fit" function to print on one page.









Whether you are celebrating a particular holiday, looking for a gift or not, I hope someone out there enjoys coloring some of these images.
I had fun putting them together.

Happy Holidays or even just Happy Days!

Very cool idea and I'm sure the girls will love it! I may just print them and make a coloring book for me.

Thank you! I will definately print them. I don't know if you are a sewer, but I have been frantically making coloring wallets for all my kids and nieces/nephews. They are very easy and meant to be taken on the road. I think I will include some of these pictures!
