About This Collection
Three pages hitch the team to Santa's sleigh: Santa seated in a decorated sleigh as it flies through the air, the same team pulling through a winter forest, and a version with Santa and the team surrounded by woodland animals. The last page swaps reindeer for a horse. A harnessed horse pulls an open wooden sleigh with curved runners past snowy pines, carrying three bundled riders.
Antlers and harness straps take a steady hand, so most of these suit ages 6 and up. The single reindeer is the best pick for younger kids. Brown for the fur, red for the harness and a pale blue for the snow cover most of it.
Reindeer and Sleigh Coloring FAQ
Do both boy and girl reindeer grow antlers?
Yes, and reindeer are the only deer species where females grow antlers too. Males usually drop their antlers in early winter, while females keep theirs until spring. That is a fun clue from science - if Santa's sleigh team still has antlers on Christmas Eve, those reindeer are probably all girls.
What do reindeer eat in the snowy winter?
Reindeer are picky winter snackers who mostly munch a crunchy plant called reindeer moss, which is actually a lichen. They use their wide hooves like shovels to dig through deep snow and uncover it. In warmer months they also enjoy grasses, leaves, mushrooms, and tender twigs from willow and birch trees.
Which page has just one reindeer?
The Christmas Reindeer page. The reindeer stands in a full-body pose facing slightly forward, with large antlers, big friendly eyes and no background to crowd it.
Why is there a horse on a reindeer page?
The family sleigh ride page belongs with the sleigh scenes, and its horse takes the place of the reindeer team. It's a good pick for kids who want a sleigh picture with riders in it.
Do these pages include Santa?
Some of them do, including Santa in his decorated sleigh and Santa with his team among forest animals. The Santa gallery has those same scenes plus the chimney and fireplace pages.
