Fireplace with Stockings Coloring Page

About this coloring page

Two stockings hang from the mantel of a brick fireplace while a smiling flame crackles on the logs below. Every brick is its own little space, so this is the most detailed page in the Christmas set.

This page rewards patience, so there is no need to finish in one sitting. One plan is to do the flame and logs first, the two stockings next and the bricks last. Ask your child what makes a room feel cozy in winter: a blanket, warm socks, a story? Colored pencils fit the narrow bricks better than thick crayons.

Fun fact

A chimney carries smoke from the fire up and out of the house.

• Color ideaAlternate two shades of red or brown on the bricks, color the flame orange and yellow and make each stocking different.
• After coloringDecide whose stockings these are and write a first letter on each cuff.
