How to Print and Download

  • Use the Download PDF button on any card to print the US Letter version, or choose the A4 link when your printer uses A4 paper.
  • Print in portrait orientation and choose fit to page so the whole drawing stays inside the printable area.
  • Black-and-white printing saves ink because each sheet is clean line art.
  • Use regular paper for crayons and colored pencils, or cardstock if children will cut out bulbs for garlands and crafts.
  • To print one favorite Christmas light coloring page, open that card and use its own print or PDF button.

Coloring Tips and Ideas

  • Try crayons for preschoolers, colored pencils for the tiny details and washable markers on thicker paper.
  • For a classic holiday look, color some bulbs red, green, yellow and blue, then leave snowy areas white.
  • Turn the string lights coloring page into a garland by cutting around the bulbs after coloring and taping them to yarn.
  • Invite older kids to add patterns inside each bulb, such as stripes, dots, zigzags or tiny stars.
  • For a quiet classroom activity, let each child color one bulb from the mandala or neighborhood page and compare the different designs.

Fun Facts About Christmas Lights

  • Before electric Christmas lights became common, some families put candles on Christmas trees, which could be dangerous. The Library of Congress explains that Edward H. Johnson made the first string of electric Christmas tree lights in 1882 (Library of Congress).
  • President Calvin Coolidge lit the first National Christmas Tree in 1923. The National Park Service says that tree used 2,500 electric bulbs in red, white and green (National Park Service).
  • LED stands for light emitting diode. The Department of Energy explains that an LED makes visible light when tiny particles release energy inside a semiconductor material (Department of Energy).
  • ENERGY STAR says certified decorative light strings can use about 92 percent less energy than conventional incandescent light strings and come in many colors, shapes and lengths (ENERGY STAR).
