Christmas Hero Cookie Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Beginning: Oatie was a simple oatmeal-raisin cookie, round and warm. She wasn't fancy, but she was observant. From the dessert table, she saw something terrible happen. The family's new puppy, Barnaby, had snatched the little girl's favorite teddy bear, Patches, and dragged him under the Christmas tree, growling playfully. The little girl, Lily, was upstairs and didn't know. Oatie knew Patches was in danger of being chewed! She had to save him.

Middle: This was no mere escape; this was a rescue mission. Oatie rolled off the table and made for the tree. Barnaby, the puppy, was a furry mountain with sharp teeth. Grrrr-wuff! he went, shaking Patches. Oatie had to create a distraction. She bravely rolled right in front of Barnaby’s nose. The puppy stopped, surprised. A cookie! He forgot all about the bear and gave a happy YIP! He started chasing Oatie. Pitter-patter, pitter-patter went Oatie’s cookie-feet, with the puppy's wet nose right behind her. She led him on a chase around the living room, away from the tree.

End: Lily came downstairs. "Barnaby! What are you doing?" She saw the chase and laughed, scooping up the puppy. Then she saw Patches, safe but slobbery, under the tree. And next to him, panting if a cookie could pant, was Oatie. Lily understood immediately. "You saved Patches!" she whispered in awe. She rescued Oatie from the puppy's attention and wiped a bit of dog drool off her. "You are the bravest cookie in the world." She didn't eat Oatie. She put her and Patches the bear together on her bedside table to stand guard all year long. Oatie learned that you don't have to be fancy to be a hero.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The 'Kid Superhero' interpretation is fun for 6-8 year olds, framing the simple cookie as a hero. The objects—a teddy bear, a cookie, a lamp—are familiar and have large, simple surfaces to color. This encourages creativity in a comfortable, low-stress design.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Time to color the heroes! Oatie the cookie and Patches the bear are standing guard. What color is your favorite teddy bear? You can make Patches that color! Oatie is an oatmeal cookie, so she could be a nice light brown. And you can design a super fun pattern for the lampshade behind them. Polka dots? Stripes? It's up to you!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Parents and teachers, this page is perfect for a quick and fun activity. Print it on standard A4 or Letter paper using the 'normal' quality setting. After coloring, you could ask your child to tell you the story of how Oatie became a hero!

Recommended Tools

This page is perfect for a big box of crayons! There are so many possibilities for the lamp and the background. Washable markers would also be great for making the two heroes stand out with bright, solid colors. Encourage your child to give the teddy bear a fun texture by making small circular motions with their crayon.
