Shining Christmas Star Coloring Pages for Kids

Coloring page story

High on the top of a big Christmas tree in a cozy living room sat a little paper star. He watched as the family hung ornaments, strung popcorn, and placed presents underneath his branches.

"When is it my turn to shine?" he whispered to the angel beside him.

"You must be patient," the angel said softly. "Your job is the most important of all. You must wait for the magic of Christmas morning."

So the little star waited. He watched the fire crackle and the family sleep. Then, as the first light of Christmas morning snuck through the window, a magical Christmas glow filled the little star. He shone brighter than any light bulb, a beacon of pure joy, greeting the children as they ran to the tree with happy shouts. His waiting was over, and his light filled the whole room with Christmas cheer.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is perfect for ages 3-5. The star is a large, simple, and satisfying shape to color. The happy face makes it relatable. The radiating lines offer a great opportunity for kids to practice tracing or coloring with bright, energetic strokes.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

This is another page that would look wonderful with some glitter! Print on cardstock, and after coloring, an adult can help add some glitter glue to the star and its light rays for a truly magical effect.

Recommended Tools

Bright yellow and orange markers will make the star and its light pop! Crayons are great for the tree branches and ornaments below. Using a white crayon on the star before coloring with a light wash of watercolor can create a fun 'magic reveal' effect.
