How to Print and Download

  • Use the Download PDF button on any printable card for a US Letter file, with an A4 link for international paper.
  • Print in portrait orientation and choose “fit to page” so the whole stocking design stays inside the margins.
  • Black-and-white printing saves ink because the pages are clean line art.
  • Use regular paper for crayons and colored pencils; choose cardstock for crafts, markers or cut-out decorations.

Coloring Tips and Ideas

  • Give little kids chunky crayons for the easy stocking pages and let them fill one large shape at a time.
  • Try a cozy holiday palette with red, green, gold, blue and white, or invite kids to invent their own stocking designs.
  • Use colored pencils for the detailed pattern sheet so small stars, stripes and bows stay neat.
  • Turn the patchwork stocking page into a classroom garland by cutting out the finished stockings and taping them to yarn.
  • For a quiet center, print the full set and let each child pick a different difficulty.
