Free Advent Calendar Coloring Pages for Kids
These free Advent calendar coloring pages are a lovely way to add a little creativity to the Christmas countdown. With a different numbered page for every day from December 1 to December 25, you can turn a few crayons and a sheet of paper into a simple festive tradition.
I love the idea of having one small activity ready for those busy December days. Nothing elaborate to set up: just open a door, print the page, and settle down for a little coloring together. You could bring out the crayons after school, enjoy a quiet page before dinner, or save a few for a cozy weekend at home.
This collection is full of playful Christmas surprises, from gingerbread friends and sledding reindeer to Mrs. Claus in her kitchen. The big numbers are part of the adventure, becoming slides, ornaments, a chimney, and even an elf’s claw machine!
All 25 printable coloring pages are free, with no sign-up needed.

Open Day 25 PDFA Little Coloring Time Each Day
Keep a small basket of crayons or colored pencils beside your printed pages so everything is ready when you have a quiet moment. Children can choose a new color combination each day, or use the same festive palette throughout their countdown.
There is no need to finish every page in one sitting. Some days might mean carefully coloring Santa’s hat; other days might be a happy swirl of crayons before everyone runs off to play. The lovely part is making a little space for Christmas creativity together.
Two Easy Crafts to Make with Your Finished Pages
Make a Growing Christmas Countdown Display
Choose a wall or noticeboard and add each finished picture as December goes along. Arrange the numbers in order so children can see their colorful countdown growing. If space is tight, display a few at a time and swap them as new pages are finished.
Create an Advent Coloring Keepsake Book
Save the finished pages in a folder, or fasten them together with adult help to make a Christmas coloring book. Add a homemade cover with your child’s name and the year. You could write a tiny note on the back of a few pages about something they enjoyed that December, from choosing a tree to making Christmas cookies.
Advent Calendar Coloring Pages: Questions and Answers
How do I download and print the coloring pages?
Open a numbered door and select its PDF button. In the PDF viewer, choose the download icon to save a copy or the print icon to print it.

Yes! Each of the 25 pages is free to download, and you do not need to sign up to access the PDFs.
Does the calendar finish on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
This collection includes Days 1 through 25, so the final coloring page is for Christmas Day. Start with number 1 on December 1 and work your way up.
