1. Poinsettia in a Polka Dot Teacup
How sweet would this little Christmas arrangement look sitting on a kitchen windowsill? I think a pastel pink flower in a turquoise teacup would be adorable, but let the kids have fun choosing their own colors and patterns!
2. Detailed Poinsettia Flower Pattern
This is one I’d save for that rare quiet moment when the Christmas shopping is done and the house is finally peaceful. Try a few different shades of red and green, pop on your favorite Christmas film, and enjoy taking your time with all those lovely little details.
3. Three Easy Poinsettia Flowers
Perfect for little hands that are still getting the hang of coloring! The big, simple petals are ideal for chunky crayons, and if you don’t fancy tipping the entire pencil tub onto the floor, just hand over red, green, and yellow and let them get creative.
4. Christmas Cheer Blooms Here
I love the idea of turning this cheerful design into a homemade Christmas card for a grandparent or someone who could use a little smile. Stick the finished picture onto folded cardstock and let your child write their own message inside, even if it’s mostly scribbles!
5. Poinsettias in the Christmas Window
There’s something so lovely about seeing a window full of beautiful flowers at Christmas. Why not ask the kids to give every flowerpot a different color, then pretend they’re running their very own little Christmas garden center?
6. Poinsettia Christmas Present Surprise
Who says Christmas presents have to be filled with toys? This enormous flower popping out of a gift box makes me smile! Have fun decorating the wrapping paper with stripes, polka dots, or whatever wild Christmas pattern your little artist dreams up.
7. Christmas Poinsettia Flower Market
If you’ve already heard “I’m bored!” five times before lunchtime, this one’s for you! Once the flower stall is colored, turn it into a little pretend shop with paper flowers, toy money, and shopping bags. You might even manage to finish your cup of tea while they’re busy!
8. Merry and Bright Christmas Flowers
This happy Christmas design is just asking for the brightest colors in the pencil box. I’d bring out the glitter pens for the lettering and hang the finished picture somewhere everyone can enjoy it throughout December.
9. Beautiful Poinsettia Floral Pattern
These lovely overlapping petals are perfect for trying something a little different. Instead of traditional Christmas red, why not experiment with soft peach, coral, and pink? Older children might even enjoy blending the colors together to create an ombre effect.
10. Christmas Poinsettias with Holly and Berries
Doesn’t this one remind you of all the beautiful greenery you see decorating homes at Christmas? Once it’s colored, you could cut out a few of the flowers and use them to decorate plain brown gift bags. Add a little ribbon and you’ve got something really special without spending much at all.
More Christmas Poinsettia Coloring Sheets
There’s even more festive coloring fun below! You’ll find a sweet little reindeer, a poinsettia fairy, Santa and Mrs. Claus, and some beautifully detailed flowers that are perfect for a relaxing Christmas coloring session.
11. Simple Poinsettia Flower in a Wavy Frame
Sometimes you just need an easy activity that doesn’t involve paint, glue, or clearing half the kitchen table! This pretty flower is lovely for a quick coloring session, and the wavy border makes it look like a little piece of artwork ready to display.
12. Little Reindeer with a Poinsettia Crown
Well, somebody is looking rather fancy for Christmas! This adorable reindeer has decided that antlers aren’t quite enough and needs a beautiful flower crown too. Let the kids give their new friend a name and make up a story about where they’re off to.
13. The Little Christmas Poinsettia Fairy
Oh, I think this little fairy is just adorable! She looks like she belongs in a magical Christmas garden, perhaps helping Santa grow flowers or leaving tiny surprises for the woodland animals. This would be a lovely one for children who enjoy making up stories as they color.
14. Winter Blossoms Poinsettia Coloring Page
Not every winter picture needs to be bright red and green. I think this would look gorgeous with icy blues, pale pinks, and a little lavender mixed in. It’s also one of those designs you could happily leave on display long after the Christmas decorations have been packed away.
15. Santa Claus with a Christmas Poinsettia
It looks like Santa has swapped his sack of presents for a spot of gardening this year! I wonder who he’s bringing that beautiful flower to? Ask your little one to decide, then have them write a tiny Christmas gift tag to go with their finished picture.
16. Mrs. Claus and Her Beautiful Poinsettia
I can just imagine Mrs. Claus looking after her favorite Christmas plant while a fresh batch of cookies bakes in the oven. Why not give her a completely different outfit this year? A berry-pink coat or a soft green Christmas hat could look really sweet!
17. Festive Poinsettias, Holly and Christmas Berries
This one has lots of lovely little details to keep older children and grown-ups happily occupied. Try using two or three shades of green for the leaves, then make those big poinsettias stand out with a beautiful deep red. It’s the sort of picture I’d enjoy coloring on a cold, rainy afternoon.
18. Four Detailed Poinsettia Flowers
There’s something strangely satisfying about coloring a perfectly matching pattern, isn’t there? You could make all four flowers identical or do the complete opposite and give each one its own color scheme. I think red, pink, cream, and burgundy would look especially pretty together.
19. Bloom Bright This Christmas
What a lovely little message to brighten someone’s day! This would be a sweet activity for children to make for a teacher, friend, or grandparent. You could even print it a little smaller and use the finished picture as a special handmade decoration on a wrapped Christmas present.
20. Cute Smiling Christmas Poinsettia
Sometimes the simplest, silliest pictures are the ones children love the most, and just look at that happy little face! I’d keep a few copies of this one handy for those December afternoons when everyone’s getting a bit restless. A handful of crayons and a smiley Christmas flower might be just the distraction you need!
