Christmas Elf with Gift Coloring Page

About this coloring page

An elf with pointed ears holds a wrapped gift in both hands, dressed in a floppy hat, striped stockings and curly-toed shoes. Many small parts make this a page for patient colorers.

Stripes are the fun part here. The stockings are divided into bands, so two colors can take turns all the way down each leg. That is a simple AB pattern, the same idea children meet in early math. A fine-tip marker or colored pencil helps with the bands and with the small bow on top of the gift.

• Color ideaTry green for the hat and tunic, red and white stripes for the stockings and a bright bow on the gift.
