Friendly Owl's Christmas Song Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Oliver the Owl loved the Christmas season. From his home in the big oak tree, he watched the villagers hang wreaths and sing songs. Their voices sounded so happy, singing “Fa la la la la!”

Oliver wanted to sing, too. But owls don't sing "fa la la." Owls hoot. He felt a little shy. What if they didn't like his song?

He took a deep breath and, as the singers paused, he let out a soft, gentle, “Hoo-hoo-hoooo.”

A little boy below pointed up. "Listen! The owl is singing with us!" Everyone smiled. They sang their carols, and every now and then, Oliver would add his soft hoot. His voice was different, but it made the Christmas music feel even more special and full of forest magic.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design suits ages 3-5 well. The owl is large, friendly, and the main focus. The separation between the owl/tree and the children below creates two distinct, manageable zones for coloring. The shapes are simple and without complex detail.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

It's Oliver the Owl, singing his special Christmas song! What color will you make the wise owl? He could be brown, or grey, or even a snowy white. The big tree branch can be a dark brown, and the leaves can be green. You can color the children's hats and hair below. Everyone is happy to hear his hoot!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For a 'nighttime' feel, try printing this on light blue or grey construction paper! The black lines will pop, and your child's colors will look like they are glowing in the moonlight. Standard paper works great too.

Recommended Tools

Crayons are perfect for this page, especially for creating a woody texture on the tree branch. Let your child use a bright yellow or orange for the owl's eyes to make them stand out. Markers would be fun for the children's hats.
