Twenty-eight drawings behind one Picture control, one to a sheet. The page opens on a snowman in a top hat, and the list runs on through snowflakes, penguins, polar bears, snowy owls, seal pups, bobble hats, mittens, sleds, ice skates, snow globes, mugs of cocoa and robins. Set the line weight, pick A4 or Letter, print.
Thirteen subjects, twenty-eight drawings
- Snow figures: a snowman in a top hat, a bolder one in a knitted bobble hat, and a sheet with a big snowman and a small one standing beside him.
- Snowflakes: a page of five at mixed sizes, a page of three larger ones, and a single flake running nearly to the margins.
- Animals: a penguin, a polar bear, a snowy owl, a seal pup on an ice floe and a robin on a snowy bough, each with a plainer version for younger children.
- Out of doors: a bobble hat with a folded scarf, a pair of mittens on a line, a wooden sled on a slope, and ice skates hanging by their laces.
- Indoors: a snow globe with snow falling inside it, and a mug of cocoa with marshmallows on top.
Nearly everything is drawn twice
Eleven of the thirteen subjects appear once as a standard drawing and once as a simple one, and the difference is the number of separate pieces rather than the size of the picture. The standard penguin has a bobble hat, a ribbed scarf, two wings and webbed feet. The simple penguin keeps the body, the front panel, the wings and the face, and drops the rest.
The snowflake is one exception, with three entries rather than two, because how many flakes are on the page matters more than how detailed each one is. The snowman is the other, where the third entry is a pair of snowmen rather than another level of detail.
Going straight to one subject
If you already know what you want, the subject pages are quicker than scrolling this list. Snowmen, snowflakes, penguins and polar bears each have a page of their own, and the arctic animals page puts the polar bear, the snowy owl, the seal pup and the penguin behind one control, which is what a topic table usually needs.
Two more pages sort by how the drawing is built instead of by subject. The easy winter page offers only the simple version of each one with the outlines already at their thickest, and the cute winter page cuts the list down to the seven subjects that have a face.
What Redraw actually does
The Redraw button is not a shuffle through stored pictures. On the snowman it draws the buttons again, two to four of them and all one shape out of a circle, a star, a diamond or a hexagon, and it redraws the row of small motifs across the hat band. On the snowflake sheets it builds entirely new flakes, so a class can have a page each and no two patterns will match.
Questions
- How many winter colouring pages are there?
- Twenty-eight drawings covering thirteen subjects, all on this one page behind the Picture control. Each prints one to a sheet at any of the three line weights, on A4 or US Letter.
- Are these winter colouring pages free?
- Yes. Every drawing prints and downloads free, with no account to create and no watermark across the artwork. Schools and nurseries may print as many copies as they need.
- Which drawing suits a three year old?
- Any of the entries marked simple, with the line weight moved along to Chunky. If you would rather the list was cut down for you, the easy winter page does exactly that.
- Do these sheets still work after Christmas?
- That is what they are for. Nothing in the winter pool shows a tree, a stocking or Santa, so a snowman or a polar bear reads the same way in February as it does in December.
- Can I print a winter colouring sheet at A3?
- Yes. The drawings are vector geometry rather than images, so sending the A4 PDF to A3 from the print dialogue scales the outlines cleanly instead of softening them.
