Free christmas tree coloring pages
Every family argues about the tree — real or fake, star or angel, tinsel or restraint. Nobody argues about coloring one. This set runs from a big simple tree with a giant star (perfect first Christmas-tree page) to an ornament-crammed showpiece for kids who want to plan a color scheme, plus a mouse-sized tree, a cat-decorated tree, and a toy train doing laps.
Things to talk about while you color
- Christmas trees take 8 to 10 years to grow to living-room height — most of the tree you decorate is older than the kid decorating it.
- The first decorated Christmas trees, in 16th-century Germany, were hung with apples, nuts, and paper roses — ornaments you could eat.
- The tradition of a train around the tree took off in the early 1900s when toy trains were the most-wished-for present.
- Cats knock ornaments off trees so reliably that scientists have actually studied it — to a cat, a bauble is a perfect prey-sized toy.
