A Letter to Santa Printable and 15 Christmas Colouring Pages for Little Hands
It is a dark December evening. The kitchen smells of tea and oranges, a box of crayons is open on the table, and your four-year-old is asking, again, how Santa will know what they would like this year. A letter to Santa printable is the simplest answer: a page that waits on the table, ready for wishes, and a small evening ritual that grows week by week until the letter is ready.
Why a letter to Santa printable works for children who cannot write yet
Most children of three, four or five cannot yet write the words they have in their heads. That does not stop them from having very clear wishes. On a letter page they can draw what they hope for – a red sledge, a teddy, a star – and you can write a few words next to each drawing while they watch. The child tells, the grown-up writes, and the letter really belongs to the child. Along the way they hold a crayon, choose colours, look at letters and hear words said slowly and clearly.
What is inside the Christmas book
- A cover with a “This book belongs to” line for your child’s name
- 15 A4 Christmas colouring pages, each with a picture and its word in hollow letters: Christmas tree, snowman, present, bell, Santa, reindeer, sledge, mitten, scarf, hat, candle, gingerbread man, candy cane, star, snowflake
- A letter to Santa with space to write or draw wishes
- Clear black lines that are friendly to your printer – 17 A4 pages in total
How to use it at home
- Print the pages on ordinary paper – all at once or a few at a time. The full book prints on A4 or US Letter; the free sample comes as A4, with a US Letter version linked under the files.
- Colour one picture each evening; fifteen pictures carry you gently through December.
- Trace or colour the hollow word together and say it aloud: “star”, “bell”, “reindeer”.
- When the time feels right, fill in the letter: your child draws the wishes and you write the words.
- Pop the finished letter into an envelope for Santa, as many families do, and keep a copy for the memory box.
