About this coloring page
Santa's friendly face peeks out from under a floppy hat with a wide fur band. The hat's tip droops to one side and ends in a round pom-pom. He has dot eyes, a round nose, round rosy cheeks, a curly moustache and a beard that comes to a point. A sparkle shines beside him.
The hat and the beard are the two biggest shapes, and each one has a classic color, which makes it easy for kids to get started. The cheeks and nose are small circles that are fun to color pink or red.
Color ideas
- Color the hat bright red and leave the fur band and pom-pom white.
- Make the round cheeks and nose rosy pink, with a little white dot left on the nose for shine.
- Leave the beard and moustache white with a few light gray curls drawn in.
