12 Days of Christmas Coloring Pages
As Christmas draws near, engage your little ones with these 12 Days of Christmas coloring pages. They make a great companion to the song!
One way to add some Christmas fun to your lessons is to teach your preschoolers the traditional 12 Days of Christmas song. You can do this through a fun YouTube video or through a picture book. I have suggestions for both below.
12 Days of Christmas Coloring Pages
These Christmas coloring pages for preschoolers are a great addition to your holiday activities.
You can use them as quiet-time activities when you need a few moments. Kids can color them as you read aloud. Oftentimes, kids can listen better when their hands are busy.
Not only are these free Christmas coloring pages for preschoolers super easy to prepare (just print and go!), but they can also be helpful skill-building resources.
What Skills Can You Teach with These?
First, you can work on sequencing. If you print out the pages and mix them up, preschoolers (alone or in a group) can put the pages in order as you read a storybook version aloud.
Each coloring page comes with a traceable title which contains the number. Kids can use those numbers to put the pages in numerical order – with or without the song or story.
You could also choose to have students listen for each ordinal number as you read. Then, they can put the pages in order that way.
In addition to those math skills mentioned above, your preschoolers will strengthen fine motor skills as they color each page and/or trace the numbers and words at the top of the page.
