Elara's Quiet Christmas Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Elara loved the ideas of Christmas: the sparkling lights, the sweet cookies, the kindness. But the noises of Christmas were too much. The shouting crowds in the shops, the carolers singing off-key, the constant, booming music—it all made her want to hide under a pillow.

At her family’s big, loud Christmas party, her head felt fuzzy and full of bees. She slipped away into the quiet study. On the mantelpiece sat a frosted glass bell, as white as new snow. The tag read, “For finding your own quiet.”

Curious, Elara picked it up. It felt cold and calming in her hand. She gave it a gentle shake. Chiiiime…

The sound was like a snowflake falling. It didn't silence the party outside. Instead, a bubble of peace seemed to form all around her. The booming bass of the music softened to a gentle hum. The loud laughter became a distant, happy murmur. It was as if she were sitting inside her very own snow globe.

She could breathe again. The buzzing bees in her head flew away. She sat in the big armchair, holding the bell, and just enjoyed the feeling of peace.

After a few minutes, her cousin Ben poked his head in. “Are you okay, Elara? It’s loud out there.” Elara smiled, a real, relaxed smile. “I am now. I just needed a quiet moment.” She held out the bell. “Want to try?”

Ben stepped inside her bubble of peace. “Whoa,” he whispered. “It’s so calm in here.” They sat together in the soft, snowy silence for a minute before rejoining the party. Elara learned that it was okay to need a break from the noise, and that sometimes, the best magic is the kind that helps you find your own little patch of quiet in a loud, wonderful world.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Let's create a cozy, quiet space for Elara. You can use soft, calm colors like light blues, lavenders, and soft pinks for the inside of her peace bubble. The armchair she's in should look super comfy—maybe a deep, warm color? For the party outside the bubble, you can use lots of bright, energetic colors to show how different it is from her quiet spot.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this on regular paper, and maybe play some soft, quiet music while your child colors to enhance the theme of the page. Ensure your printer's black ink is full to get nice, smooth lines for the peace bubble.

Recommended Tools

This page is wonderful for colored pencils, which allow for soft shading and gentle application of color. Crayons are also a great choice for a soft, dreamy texture. Avoid bold, harsh markers to maintain the calm mood of the illustration.
