Estimated time: 10–20 min
Difficulty: Easy
Areas to color: about 55

Coloring order

Fill in the long stocking hanging down with big strokes of red. Try pressing a little harder on the heel and toe.
Make the kitten peeking out of the stocking a calico: a white base with orange and black patches. Then color the round ornament hanging on the front gold.
Save the holly leaves and red berries on the shelf, plus the four candles and their flames, for last. Finish the shelf in a wood color.

Questions to talk about

How do you think the kitten got into the stocking?
What sound would the ornament make if you tapped it?
Have you ever squeezed into a small, cozy spot?

Take it further

Hide a small toy in an old sock and guess what it is just by feeling it. It's a hide-and-find game, like the Christmas kitten tucked in its stocking.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
