Tips for Getting the Most Out of These Coloring Pages
Coloring is simple, but a few small tips can make the experience even better, especially for kids and beginners.
Start with the biggest shapes first, like the sky, the background, or a large sweater or blanket. Filling in big areas first tends to feel less overwhelming than trying to perfect small details right away. Not sure whether crayons, markers, or colored pencils suit a scene best? Our comparison of crayons vs markers vs colored pencils can help you pick the right tool for the job.
Try warm colors for cozy indoor scenes. Oranges, reds, and soft yellows work well for fireplaces, candles, and warm lights, while blues, whites, and light purples are great for snowy outdoor scenes.
Do not worry about staying perfectly inside the lines, especially with younger kids. The bold, thick outlines in this collection were designed to make it easier to color neatly, but coloring is meant to be relaxing, not stressful. If you want pages matched more closely to a child’s age and skill level, our guide to age appropriate coloring pages by age is a helpful next read.
For a group activity, print a few different pages and let everyone at the table pick their favorite. Since this collection has six very different themes, there is something here for kids who love dreamy fantasy scenes and something for adults who prefer quiet, cozy moments like reading by the fire. Teachers looking to bring this into the classroom before winter break may also enjoy our ideas for classroom coloring activities for teachers.
If you are coloring digitally, take advantage of being able to undo mistakes and try out different color combinations before settling on your favorite. It is a great low pressure way for beginners to experiment.
Coloring is not just a nice way to pass the time either. It is genuinely relaxing for the brain. Many adults come back to coloring for the same reason they enjoy journaling or a slow walk outside, and we cover this more in our post on the psychology behind adults’ love of coloring. The American Art Therapy Association has also noted that art-based activities like coloring can help lower stress and support emotional well-being, which is part of what makes a quiet coloring session feel so good during a busy holiday season.
