How to print mini to make a Christmas garland

One of the cutest ways to use these is printing them small, cutting them out, then attaching them to string or yarn or a DIY Christmas garland.

Plus, it’s easy!

First, you need to print these as mini (ex: 4 or 6 to a page).

Here’s how to do it on both Macs and PCs:

On a Mac:

  1. Open the coloring page file in Preview.
  2. Click File in the top menu, then select Print.
  3. In the Print dialog box, look for the option labeled Layout (you may need to click “Show Details” to see it).
  4. Under Pages per Sheet, select 4 or 6.
  5. Adjust any additional settings, like orientation, and hit Print.

On a PC:

  1. Open the coloring page file in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free to download).
  2. Click File, then choose Print.
  3. In the Print dialog box, look for the Multiple option under “Page Sizing & Handling.”
  4. Select 4 or 6 pages per sheet from the dropdown.
  5. Make any other adjustments you need (like scaling or margins), then click Print.

Turn your Christmas coloring pages into keepsakes

Want to make these masterpieces even more special?

Turn them into:

  • Custom holiday cards for family and friends
  • Wrapping paper for small gifts (how cute would that be?!)
  • Memory books to cherish forever

Why kids (and adults!) love these Christmas coloring pages

Coloring pages are the greatest things 365 days a year, but they’re extra spectacular at Christmas when life is going 100mph per minute.

During a season that can get busy, crazy, and overwhelming quickly, these are perfect for keeping kids engaged in something relaxing and calm.

Plus, after you download the set, you can keep them and use them for many, many Christmases to come.

These are perfect preschool Christmas coloring pages

I know preschoolers like the back of my hand, and I made coloring pages designed perfectly for preschool-aged kids.

I draw in thick, bold, black lines giving kids easy outlines to work with.

My coloring pages also have a mix of large shapes and small but not-too-small shapes, setting kids up for success.

Preschoolers love coloring, and these pages are just the right mix of simple shapes and fun details.

The designs are easy enough for little hands to color but engaging enough to keep their attention.

Plus, they pair perfectly with any preschool Christmas activity or holiday-themed craft time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these coloring pages suitable for all ages?

Yes! While designed for kids, older siblings (and adults) will love them, too.

How do these support preschool fine motor skills?

Coloring helps kids practice grip, control, and precision.

What paper works best for printing?

We usually print on either regular printer paper or cardstock.
