Christmas Candle Coloring Page

One tall candle with a single flame stands in a round holder, with holly leaves on either side and a small star at the base. The shapes are big and the lines are thick, which makes it a calm page for ages three to five. It prints on US Letter or A4 paper.

Coloring ideas

• Color the flame in yellow with an orange tip.
• Make the candle red, white or green, with a darker shade at the bottom.
• Use gold for the holder and the little star.
• Color the holly leaves dark green and add a few red berries.

Quick learning activity

Candles give light, and flames are warm, so they should only be lit by adults. Use the picture to talk about candle safety: never touch the flame, keep candles away from curtains, and blow them out before leaving the room. Battery candles are a safe alternative for small hands.
