About this resource

What's inside this resource

Bring the festive spirit of an Australian Christmas into your classroom this holiday season with the Australian Christmas Colouring Pages. This 33-page PDF resource can be used as a fun coloring activity or craft project for students. The packet contains patterns and designs featuring classic Australian Christmas images like Santa wearing flip flops and shorts, kangaroos pulling Santa's sleigh, Christmas trees decorated with boomerangs, and Australian animals in Santa hats. Students will enjoy coloring the whimsical pictures on their own or using them as inspiration for holiday crafts. This versatile resource provides a creative way for educators to teach students about how Christmas is celebrated Down Under.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Practice fine motor control and coloring technique while completing a black-line outline

  • Experiment with color combinations and light-to-dark shading across adjacent sections of an outline

Teaching tips

  • Enlarge an outline to A3 for a large group poster, or reduce it to A5 for individual seatwork, using the file's own suggested sizing options.

  • Use a completed outline as a title page for a unit of student work, or as a centrepiece for a wall display of related reports — both suggested directly in the file's "Ways to Use the Outlines" list.

  • Assign an outline as an early-finisher activity, one of a dozen specific classroom uses the publisher lists for these pages.

Skills covered

  • Fine motor control and coloring technique — students color within outline boundaries using pencils, markers, crayons, inks, or paints.

  • Color and shading experimentation — students apply single-color alternating patterns or light-to-dark shading across adjacent sections, per the file's own suggested techniques.

  • Mixed-media construction — students build a dimensional version of an outline using beads, pasta, twigs, or papier-mâché on card, per the file's own listed methods.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Are all 33 outlines Christmas-themed, or do some cover other Australian subjects?

All 33 are Christmas outlines, but several put a distinctly Australian spin on the holiday — Surfing Santa, Beach Christmas, Outback Christmas, Aussie Lizards Leaping, and Wise Men on Emus sit alongside more traditional titles like Christmas Tree, Candle, and Jingle Bells.
