Poinsettia Coloring Pages
Make free printable poinsettia coloring pages from 13 pictures we drew ourselves: single poinsettia bloom, poinsettia close-up, poinsettia in a flower pot, potted poinsettia with a paper wrap, three poinsettia blooms, poinsettia stem with leaves, poinsettia border with a blank panel, poinsettia bouquet in a paper cone, poinsettias and a candle, leaf study: red leaves and a green leaf, poinsettias in a basket, round poinsettia pattern, big simple poinsettia. Each bloom is drawn the same way: pointed colored leaves in two rings, each with a small lobe on one side, round a cluster of tiny flowers in the middle, with green leaves behind. The simple outlines also work as a poinsettia drawing guide: trace the big simple poinsettia, then try the single bloom with its veins. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a scene with a row of potted poinsettias on a table under clouds and a sun, a fold-in-half card, or a poinsettia mandala with small poinsettias round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank flower pots prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain pots, for designing your own pot; 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.

The poinsettia pictures are our own drawings: each bloom has its pointed colored leaves round a cluster of tiny flowers in the middle, with green leaves behind. The pots, the paper wrap and the basket carry no words, brand or product names or logos. The blank flower pots are plain, for designing your own pot. The designs are our own drawings: you may use them and anything you make with them, including things you sell, with no credit needed. The lettering fonts keep their own open licenses.

Which parts of a poinsettia do I color red?

Can I use these pages to learn to draw a poinsettia?
