Holly the Elf's Gift Coloring Pages for Kids

Coloring page story

All the presents were wrapped, the sleigh was packed, and the big tree was shining brightly. But Santa noticed one last, small box. It was for Mrs. Claus. "Oh dear," he boomed. "We've run out of ribbon!" A little elf named Holly shyly stepped forward. She untied the beautiful red ribbon from her own hair. "You can use mine, Santa," she said. Santa was so touched by her kindness. He used her ribbon to tie the most beautiful bow. As a thank you, he gave her a special, tiny golden bell from his own sleigh to wear in her hair. It was the perfect start to their holiday celebration.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The soft, round style is very safe and comforting for young children. The kneeling posture of Santa makes him appear gentle and non-intimidating. The clear, positive interaction is easy for a 3-5-year-old to interpret and feel good about.
