Christmas Gnome & Nutcracker Colouring Pages for Kids — Free Printable Bold Line Art PDF

Christmas gnomes and nutcrackers are two of the season's favourite characters, and these free colouring pages give kids one of each to bring to life. Both are drawn with bold, thick outlines and big open shapes, so they suit preschoolers and early primary children, but there's enough detail (hat stars, toadstool spots, drum zigzags, buttons) to keep older kids busy too.

Page 1, 'Merry Little Gnome', shows a long-hatted gnome with a floppy starry hat and pom-pom, a fluffy scalloped beard and a wrapped present, standing in the snow between spotted toadstools. Page 2, 'Nutcracker Parade', is a tall nutcracker soldier with a plumed hat, gold-fringed epaulettes, a toothy grin and a big marching drum with crossed sticks, framed by stars and snowflakes. Both page titles are outline lettering, so they can be coloured in as well.

Print on plain paper for crayons and markers, or on card for paint and glitter glue. The pages are 300 DPI US Letter and scale cleanly to A4. They work for classroom Christmas parties, wet-play days, restaurant tables, advent activity days and quiet time on Christmas Eve. Free for personal and classroom use.
