Especially over long winter vacations, coloring can be a great way to destress and reset moods. But hunting down all those winter coloring pages can take some doing.
So I decided to make a super quick resource of some Christmas and winter coloring pages for kids. I also made one for adults, because you all need some coloring time, too.
I bet you’ll be surprised how much you enjoy it. And how much the kids enjoy you coloring with them.
Make Coloring Together a Fun Activity
My kids have not always been into coloring. In fact, I wrote a post on what to do with crayons just because my kids wouldn’t ever use them to color!
But now, maybe they’re growing up and can sit for a bit, they actually enjoy it! All in good time, right?
One thing I learned: with toddlers, use washable markers! I highly recommend Crayola washable markers(affiliate link), they come out of everything!
Onto the Christmas and winter coloring pages for kids and adults already!
Now, the difficult part: which pages to print and color first? I’m so torn between doing my own adult version or setting the kids and I up with the same page for everyone.
What’s your favorite relaxing activity to do with your kids? Share your genius ideas with us!

Turn off the lights and get learning with a fun in the dark scavenger hunt for kids from Alisha!
When you’re stuck for ideas to keep the kids learning, but also have fun, it’s time to try this in the dark scavenger hunt.
Yup! Learning and hunting in the dark!
Learning In the Dark Scavenger Hunt for Kids
An all-ages light hunt learning game takes the learning fun to a whole new level because it’s played in the dark. Grab your flashlight and get ready to learn!
To set up your own in the dark scavenger hunt, you’ll need:
Handmade Game Boards (Paper & Marker)
Flashlight
Tape
Dark Room
Grab a few sheets of paper, enough for all the players.
I chose to start with two pieces of paper and the basic skills of letter and number recognition. This game is super flexible, so pick whatever content your kids are learning!
Fold each paper four times, into a small square. You should end with sixteen squares.
Trace the fold lines to turn the paper into the game board.
Make as many game boards as kids participating or skills you want to practice.
Then just add in the content to each square. I added letters to one board, uppercase and lowercase, and numbers to the other board.
Head into a dark room. Tape up your game boards anywhere on the walls, doors, or other flat surfaces.
Our dark room was the bathroom, so I taped them to the cabinets under the sink. Since they were low, my kids went did the in the dark scavenger hunt sitting down.
Go On an In the Dark Scavenger Hunt to Learn
Challenge your children to shine their light onto target spaces, based on what you call out. To help you keep everything straight, you might want to make a copy of the boards.
My daughter was hunting for letters. When I said the letter “T” and she had to shine her flashlight on that letter.
My son played on the number board. When I said the number “110,” he had to shine the light on that number.
I found it best to instruct my kids one at a time, so they took turns hunting with their flashlights. We swapped back and forth, calling out squares on each child’s boards one at a time.
When it wasn’t their turn their light was off, as to not distract the other person playing.
We did try to do simultaneous hunts. They liked that, too!
You can choose to have your kids focus on one board only. Or switch after a while so they practice a variety of skills.
My kids even took over my role and began calling out letters and numbers for one another to find.
