Free Printable Christmas Ornaments To Color

There is nothing quite like decorating the Christmas tree, is there? We still do it even though we no longer have kids at home.

When my boys were growing up, it was a much-anticipated event. One of our favorite Christmas activities was making ornaments for the tree.

Homemade decorations are really special, aren’t they? These unique treasures are made with love and reflect the personality of their creator.

The trick is finding ornaments that are easy enough for kids to make without a lot of help.

I always appreciated projects that didn’t require too much preparation. The weeks before Christmas are frantic enough. We need a quick and easy craft that is fun and encourages creativity.

With that in mind, we created two simple printable Christmas ornaments for your kids to color.

They are free to download and print, so you can let your children go to town.

These ornaments are so easy to make that kids can make them independently.

They are simple enough that younger children can make them. While older ones can enjoy customizing them and adding extra decorations.

And once they’re finished, your kids will have a one-of-a-kind ornament they can hang on the tree with pride.

Let Your Creativity Shine

This is where your children’s creativity gets a workout. Our printable Christmas ornaments will look lovely if they are simply colored with crayons or pencil crayons. However, a few extra craft supplies can make them look exceptional. Here are some ideas.

• Add glitter glue for a little extra sparkle.
• Enjoy adding self-adhesive gem stickers
• String pony beads on the hanging loop.

• Small embellishments add some interest.
• Glitter hot glue sticks add some sparkly texture.

Tip: Public libraries often have toner printers/photocopiers available for use. These produce copies that do not run when water is added.
