Ring in the holiday season with this cute coloring page of Tweety dressed as Santa. Tweety is a yellow canary bird from the wacky and popular “Looney Tunes”. She appears to be an innocent bird but is clever enough to outsmart the cat, Sylvester and many other characters in the show. When Tweety was first introduced in the cartoon, she had a short temper. But as the series advanced, Tweety became calmer. The feature we like the most in Tweety is her habit of mispronouncing the words. It’s a great coloring page to sneak some motor skills practice during the Christmas season.
28. Mr. And Mrs. Santa Enjoying Coffee And Muffins:
The beloved Aunt Claus has prepared muffins and coffee for her husband. But what is wrong with Mr. Santa? Why is he looking so furious? The scene is from the film from the movie “Mr. Santa Claus”. Neglected by his husband during the Christmas season, Mrs. Claus takes the sleigh and reindeer for a drive, only to end up stranded in the neighborhood of Manhattan. What will happen now? Will Santa be able to find her? Ask your kid this question and see what he answers. You can even watch the movie with your kid after coloring the page.
29. Santa With A Kid:
This little boy has finally met Santa. He is expecting a drum gift from Santa, and we are sure Santa got the same for him. We hope this kid serves Santa cookies and milk, his favorite food. In Canada and the United States, kids leave Santa a glass of milk and a plate of cookies and in Australia and Britain; he is given mince pies and sherry instead. In Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, Santa receives rice porridge with cinnamon sugar and in Ireland; he gets milk with mince pies and Christmas pudding. Some kids even leave carrots for Santa’s reindeer. Isn’t that cute?
30. Baby New Year Knitting Santa’s Hat:
Here’s an adorable coloring image of baby new year is knitting the sack, as Santa watches in amazement. If your kid cannot stop dreaming about Santa coming with all sorts of gifts, then this quiet activity will keep him engaged. Baby New Year is the personification of the beginning of the new year. He symbolizes the passing of the previous year and the birth of the next year. Father Time hands over his duties to Baby New Year at the start of the year and retires. Your kid can even draw a few candy canes and jingle bells to make the coloring page look merry. We hope your kid enjoys decorating our Santa coloring pages. He does not need to stick to the usual red and white for coloring the images of Santa Claus. Encourage him to mix colors for making the pictures of Santa stand out.
