This page has 21 free December coloring pages, and every single one has the word December on it in outline letters ready to colour. 13 sheets build the month out of big block or script letters, 6 say Hello December or Happy December, and 2 wrap the word in a border of presents and baubles. Page 12 is the simplest, with 40 enclosed shapes; page 21 has 204. Tap the pages you want in the grid below, then press Print or PDF.
What is on each of the 21 December pages
Every caption in the grid shows its page number, so you can pick by group below. Because the lettering is what every page has in common, the quickest way to choose is by what sits around the word.
- December in big letters, with a picture: page 1 (a snowman on a tiled floor), page 4 (the word inside a circle with a snowman), page 7 (a hat and a bird), page 8 (a decorated tree and presents), page 9 (a reindeer in the snow), page 10 (2 bells and a bow), page 11 (ornaments and swirls), page 12 (holly and a gingerbread man), page 13 (a pile of presents), page 14 (a wreath and a gnome), page 18 (a girl holding flowers), page 19 (teddy bears and toys) and page 21 (letters filled with flowers and leaves).
- Hello December and Happy December: page 5 (the word in a cloud above 2 snowmen), page 6 (Happy December beside a tree), page 15 (Hello December inside one large snowflake), page 16 (Happy December above circles holding the letters), page 17 (Hello December with candy canes) and page 20 (It is December, over a child on a sled).
- Borders to colour: page 2 (blank banner strips with presents and candles between them) and page 3 (a tree, gifts, stars and hanging baubles around the word).
- Doubles as a quiet activity: page 16 sets the letters in circles like an alphabet sheet, so a preschooler can find and colour the letters of the month one at a time.
The Christmas coloring pages cover the holiday itself, and the winter coloring pages carry the snow through to March.
Which December pages suit which age
The simplest page is 12, and the most detailed is page 21. The table sorts all 21 pages by the number of enclosed white shapes, counted on a same-size scan of every file. Fewer shapes means bigger areas to fill.
| Enclosed shapes | Pages | Count |
|---|---|---|
| 50 or fewer (big areas) | 12 | 1 |
| 51 to 100 | 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 15, 17, 20 | 10 |
| Over 100 (small details) | 1, 2, 6, 10, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21 | 10 |
Page 12 has 40 shapes, script lettering with holly and one gingerbread man, and page 4 follows with 58. Page 21 has 204 because every petal and leaf inside the letters is closed, page 14 has 180 and page 10 has 168. 10 of the 21 pages go past 100 shapes, which is why this set works for adults as well as children.
How big the December pages print
At one page per sheet, each December page prints about 7.9 × 10.2 inches on US Letter paper. Every file is 1000 × 1294 pixels, roughly 127 pixels per inch at that size, with a thin frame around the picture and a small VerbNow.com mark in the bottom corner.
- 4 pages per sheet shrinks each picture to about 3.8 × 5.0 inches. That suits the big-area page (12) in the table above; the 10 pages with over 100 shapes get too small to color neatly.
- Ink saver turns light grey pixels white and leaves the black outlines untouched, so it changes little on these black line-art pages.
- Select several pages at once in the grid and the PDF button builds one file with all of them, in the order you picked.
