Printable color by number pages are a cheap and easy way to add a cozy activity to the holidays. Here are ten ideas that work for adults, teens and mixed-age families.

  1. Coloring night. Print a stack of pages, put out markers and snacks, and let everyone choose one.
  2. Advent countdown. Print one page per day in December and color it after dinner.
  3. Party table. Place a page and a few pencils at every seat for guests who arrive early.
  4. Race the reveal. Give two people the same page and see who can guess the picture first.
  5. Handmade cards. Color a small page, cut it out and glue it to the front of a folded card.
  6. Gift tags. Color the picture, cut around it and punch a hole for a ribbon.
  7. Window decorations. Color on thin paper and tape it to a window so light shines through.
  8. Grandparent project. Color the same picture together over a video call.
  9. Classroom reward. Teachers can print Easy pages for a quiet end-of-term activity.
  10. Frame the finished page. A finished pixel picture looks great in a simple white frame.
