Candy Cane Coloring Pages

Festive scenes for every little colorist

Each page puts the candy cane in a different holiday setting. Some are simple, with one big cane and a few snowflakes, perfect for small hands. Others are richer scenes: a party table loaded with sweets, a sleigh overflowing with candy canes, a land of Christmas candy, or a little girl holding her favorite treat. A reindeer carrying a candy cane adds a touch of humor, and a jar of canes is a nice, tidy subject for practicing stripes. Lines are clean and thick, so coloring inside them feels satisfying, and there's still plenty of space to add your own details such as bows, sparkles and falling snow.

Tips for printing and coloring

Print on standard letter paper in portrait or landscape, whichever suits the picture best. Plain white paper works well for crayons and colored pencils, while heavier cardstock holds up to markers and light watercolor without bleeding through. For stripes, younger children can follow the curve of the cane with one color at a time, while older kids can try alternating shades or adding a spiral pattern. Use a white gel pen for snow highlights once the coloring is done. Finished pages also make charming gift tags, cards and window decorations.
