Cozy Mitten Holiday Coloring Pages for Preschoolers

Coloring page story

Once there was a little red mitten named Mitzi. She had been dropped in the snow and felt very lonely. "Oh dear," she sighed, her woolly thumb drooping. Just then, a tiny field mouse with whiskers that twitched peeked out of a hole. "You look cozy," squeaked the mouse. Soon, a little robin, a sleepy ladybug, and a shy beetle all snuggled inside Mitzi. It was a tight squeeze, but oh, so warm! They shared stories until a little girl found them. "My mitten!" she cried, then whispered, "You've had a party!" She left them a sunflower seed as a thank you, and Mitzi the Mitten knew that a holiday is simply about being warm and together.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is perfect for ages 3-5. It uses large, simple shapes (the mitten, the animal heads) with bold, clear outlines. There are no tiny, complex areas, which aligns with the developing fine motor skills of this age group. The characters are friendly and easily recognizable.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Hello, little artist! Look at this cozy mitten full of friends. What color will you make the mitten? Maybe it's your favorite color! You can give each little animal inside a different color. See the mouse? And the little bird? Try to stay inside the big, thick lines, but it's okay if you go outside a little. Have fun making them all warm and colorful!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print this page on medium-weight paper, like cardstock, which can handle crayons and markers without tearing. Use your printer's standard or 'normal' quality setting for crisp, clear lines. Let's make a beautiful picture together!

Recommended Tools

Large, chunky crayons are perfect for little hands to grip. Washable markers are also a great choice for bright, bold colors – just be sure to put the caps back on! Coloring with these tools helps build hand strength for writing later on.
