Tower of wrapped Christmas gifts coloring page

A tower of wrapped presents piled three columns high, every box in its own paper, stripes on one, polka dots on another, stars on a third, and a ribbon and a bow on each. The patterns are already drawn, so one colour per box and another for its ribbon is enough to make the pile look like a real heap of gifts. Counting the boxes is a game in itself for younger children, and the dots and stripes make it a long, absorbing page for older ones. The Christmas tree with presents underneath is the quicker version of the same idea.

How to color Tower of wrapped Christmas gifts

1. red + green One colour per box for the wrapping paper, never the same on two boxes that touch.
2. A contrasting colour for each ribbon and bow; gold and white go with anything.
3. pink + light blue Fill the dots, stripes and stars last, in a lighter shade of the box colour.
