8 Fun Ways to Use Your Cat Christmas Coloring Pages
Don’t just let these festive felines sit in a pile! Once you and your kids have finished coloring, try one of these 8 creative craft ideas to turn your artwork into unique holiday decorations.
1. Turn Them into Custom Ornaments
This is a classic holiday craft. After coloring your favorite cats, glue the page onto a piece of thin cardboard (like an old cereal box) to make it sturdy. Cut out the shape carefully, punch a hole at the top, and add a ribbon hook. Hang them on your tree for a personalized touch that you can keep for years.
2. Create a “Purr-fect” Holiday Garland
Why stop at one? Color 4 or 5 different cat designs using matching colors like red, green, and gold. Cut out the main figures and tape them onto a long piece of twine or yarn. You can hang this adorable cat garland across your fireplace mantel, a doorway, or on a classroom bulletin board.
3. DIY Christmas Greeting Cards
Handmade cards are always more special. Print these pages at 50% scale (two per page) or simply cut out the colored cats and paste them onto folded cardstock. Use glitter glue or metallic markers to add some extra sparkle, and write a warm message inside to send to friends and family.
4. Make Festive Gift Tags
Skip the store-bought labels this year. Cut out the smaller elements—like a kitten in a stocking or a cat with a Santa hat—and punch a small hole in the corner. Thread a piece of ribbon through it and write “To” and “From” on the back. It adds a pop of color and personality to any wrapped gift.
5. Design a Stained Glass Window Display
To create a glowing suncatcher effect, color the pages using markers instead of crayons. Then, lightly brush a cotton ball dipped in vegetable oil over the back of the paper. This makes the paper translucent! Tape your masterpiece to a sunny window and watch the light shine through your festive cats.
6. Use as Holiday Placemats
This is a great way to keep kids entertained during Christmas dinner. Use the full-page detailed designs as placemats at the kids’ table. If you have access to a laminator, laminate them after coloring so they can be wiped clean and reused throughout the entire holiday season.
7. Elf on the Shelf Prop
If your family participates in the Elf on the Shelf tradition, use these pages as a fun surprise. Leave a partially colored sheet next to your Elf with some crayons scattered around, making it look like the Elf was busy coloring while the kids were asleep!
8. Create a Christmas Countdown Wall
Print out multiple sheets and create a gallery wall. Each day leading up to Christmas, have your child color one new cat and tape it to the wall. It works like a visual Advent calendar, building excitement as the collection grows day by day until December 25th.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these cat Christmas coloring pages really free?
Yes! All 24 coloring pages in this collection are 100% free for personal and educational use. You can print as many copies as you like for your children, students, or holiday party guests without any cost or subscription.
What paper size should I use for printing?
These designs are optimized for standard US Letter size (8.5 x 11 inches) paper, which is the most common home printer size in the United States. However, they also print beautifully on A4 paper if you adjust your printer settings to “Fit to Page.”
Can I use these coloring sheets in my classroom?
Absolutely. Teachers are more than welcome to print these cat-themed Christmas pages for classroom activities, winter break parties, or as quiet-time worksheets. They are a popular choice for preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school teachers.
What file format are the images?
Each coloring page is provided as a high-resolution PDF file. We use PDF format because it ensures the lines remain crisp and clear when printed, unlike standard image files (JPG/PNG) which can sometimes look pixelated or blurry on paper.
Are these pages suitable for young children?
Yes, this collection includes a mix of difficulty levels. You will find simple, bold outlines specifically designed for toddlers and preschoolers helping to develop fine motor skills, as well as more intricate patterns that older kids and adults will enjoy coloring.
