Santa Claus Coloring Sheets

I find it fascinating how the image of Santa Claus has changed over time. When you color these Santa Claus Coloring Sheets, you’ll notice all the classic details the sleigh, the reindeer, and the big bag of gifts. But the classic red suit wasn’t always a part of his look. In earlier depictions, Santa was often shown in a variety of colors, like green, purple, or even blue. The red suit became popular in the 19th century and has been his signature ever since.

Another fun fact is about his home. We all know Santa lives at the North Pole, but different countries have their own ideas about where he’s from. In Finland, they believe he lives in a place called Korvatunturi, or “Ear Fell,” so he can listen to children’s wishes. In Greenland, he lives at the Bay of Plenty, and in Denmark, he lives in Greenland!
