Inside the downloadable PDF, you’ll find eight pages of festive, kid-friendly designs to colour, cut out, and hang.

I always print my printables directly onto 160 gsm cardstock using my Epson Ecotank Printer rather than regular paper, this way they are a little more durable and the pens do not bleed through to the other side. However, if you do not have a home printer then just pop to a library and use theirs.
