Christmas activity plans

A Christmas art station for a classroom party

A drawing table gives a party a calm corner. The free sheets cover three levels, so mixed ages and abilities all have something to do.

Set up three piles

Tracing pages (candy cane, snowman, gingerbread man, reindeer) for younger or less confident children. Step-by-step lessons (Santa, elf, hot cocoa) for children who like to draw. Grid sheets (present, teddy bear, Santa) for fast finishers and puzzle lovers. The four draw-your-own sheets (stocking, tree, snowman face, gingerbread person) work for every age.

Print smart

Print the free pack once and photocopy what you need. Grid references and blank grids must be printed at the same size. Use fit to page so nothing is cut off.

Make it a display

Hang the finished drawings as a paper garland, or use them as card fronts to take home. Children who finish early can draw a background on the back.

A gift for the class

One copy of a Christmas book on the class shelf gives children more characters to try during wet play in December.

More for teachers

The Christmas drawing page for teachers has a 30-minute directed drawing lesson, a grid drawing lesson that practices coordinates, and the sheets sorted by grade.
