I know that the days before Christmas can seem unusually long, especially when kids are out of school and the presents are taunting them (my nieces’ word, not mine). So if you’ve got a household of over-excited kids, we’ve got just the thing to help you keep them occupied and away from those presents under the tree.
All you need is a printer and some freshly sharpened colored pencils. Or crayons, or markers too.
From your basic coloring pages, to wall art, cards, foldable villages, and even placements, these coloring pages — most of them for free! — are just the thing you’ll need to get tide them over to Christmas morning.

Buy the set, and you’ll get some fun extras too, like alternative fireplaces (also adorable) and cool Christmas placemats.
