Christmas Light Coloring Pages
Make free printable Christmas light coloring pages from 13 pictures we drew ourselves: big bulbs on a wire, a string of lights, a heart of lights, a house with lights along the roof, a tree with lights, a garland with lights, a wreath with lights, a window with lights, a lamp post with lights, a ring of bulbs, a frame of lights with an empty middle for your own drawing or message, a porch with lights and an easy light bulb for little ones. Every picture is our own simple drawing, with no film or cartoon characters and no brands, so the pages suit homes, classrooms and libraries. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a street lit up for Christmas, a fold-in-half card, or a light bulb mandala with small bulbs round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank bulbs to design prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain bulbs, so children can draw their own stripes, dots and patterns; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

Coloring ideas
- Classic string: red, green, blue, yellow and orange bulbs in turn, with dark green caps.
- Glow effect: leave a white shine on each bulb and shade the edge a little darker.
- Night scene: color the sky dark blue first so the bulbs stand out.
Printing tips
- Every page keeps a 12.7 mm (half inch) margin from the paper edge, on US Letter and A4.
- Plain paper is fine for crayons and pencils; use thicker paper or card for markers, paint or glitter glue.
- Print one page first and check it before printing a whole pack or class set.
- Choose Detailed lines only with fine pens or sharp pencils, and Simple lines with chunky crayons.
