Printable Christmas cards for kids

With these free printable cards to color, little ones can put their own creative twist on holiday greetings.

It’s such a joy watching them choose their favorite colors, add special touches, and imagine how happy their family and friends will be to receive a card made just for them.

Supplies needed:

• Cardstock – It gives the cards that extra sturdy feel, perfect for keepsakes.
• Coloring pens – Our go-to for bright, bold colors that make each design pop.
• A9 Envelopes – These fit the cards just right and keep them safe for delivery or gifting.

How to use

After downloading the set, print out all eight designs. Each one prints on its own page, so there’s plenty of space for kids to add their creative flair.

To really make these cards shine, we recommend printing on white cardstock, though regular printer paper works if that’s what you have on hand.

Each card has a festive greeting on the back, with messages like “Merry Christmas” and “Peace and Joy.”

The inside is blank, so kids can fill it with their own words, drawings, or maybe even a tiny Christmas wish. These cards are free to print, but remember they’re just for personal use!

How to personalize Christmas coloring cards

Once kids finish coloring, they can add simple touches to make each card stand out. A bit of glitter or a few sequins can add sparkle, while cotton balls work well for snow or Santa’s beard. Ribbons and small beads also add texture and make designs pop.

Kids can get creative with collage, using cutouts from magazines or scraps of old wrapping paper to add layers and unique details. Materials like fabric, buttons, or yarn bring extra dimension to their artwork.

Encourage them to personalize each card by adding a small drawing, favorite quote, or short message that suits the person they’re giving it to. This way, each card feels a bit more special and thoughtful.

Once the cards are done, they’re ready to be added to an envelope and shared with friends or family.
