About This Opening Present Coloring Page

Opening presents are full of joyful details to explore with crayons and markers. The torn wrapping paper, the big bow, and the surprised face all invite a child to think about textures and expressions while coloring. Talk about where gifts come from and how wrapping paper can be patterned or plain, encourage kids to invent stories about who gave the present and why, and use the page as a prompt for a short writing or storytelling activity. In the classroom, try a center where each student colors a present and then pins it to a bulletin board to create a shared gift wall. At home, this printable is perfect for rainy afternoons or holiday calm time; bring in real ribbons and scraps to match the drawing and make a mixed media collage. For a group project, pair the page with book reading about holiday traditions or make a guessing game where students color clues about the giver and others guess. This Opening Present coloring page is printable and free, and it sparks imagination and conversation.

Coloring Tips & Techniques

Use bright red or green for the gift wrap, and add a shiny yellow bow to make it pop. Color the child with natural skin tones, use a soft blue or purple for the shirt, and add light gray shading under the present to show depth. Try layering with colored pencils to blend, and press harder for darker shadows.
