Things to talk about while coloring
Hanging stockings is a tradition in many homes, and the custom is often linked to stories of Saint Nicholas leaving small gifts. Look at what is peeking out of this one: a candy cane and a little teddy bear. Ask your child what small surprise they would hope to find in their own stocking.
Coloring ideas
Red with a white fuzzy cuff is the classic choice, but stripes, plaid, or polka dots make it one of a kind. The candy cane gets red and white stripes, and the teddy bear can be brown, tan, or any color your child picks. Color the heel and toe a different shade from the rest of the stocking for a classic knitted look.
A little learning
Writing or tracing their own name across the wide cuff turns this page into real name practice that kids love to hang up.
