Playful Scenes for Every Colorist
Every page in this category shows Krampus doing something unexpected and charming. You will find him ringing a bell, napping peacefully, sharing a quiet moment with a squirrel, and carrying a traditional birch broom. Other pages show him decorating a Christmas tree, holding a glowing lantern, or standing beside a gingerbread man. One scene even takes you to a snowy Alpine Christmas market full of wooden stalls and twinkling lights. The lines are clean and bold, with a good balance of large areas for little hands and fine details like fur, horns, chains, and ornaments for older kids who enjoy a challenge.
Tips for Printing and Coloring
Print on standard letter-size paper for everyday coloring, or choose thicker cardstock if you plan to use markers, watercolors, or gel pens. Younger children do well with chunky crayons on the simpler pages, such as the sleeping Krampus. Older kids can try colored pencils to blend shades in the fur and add shadows under the tree. Try using white gel pen or a white crayon for snowflakes on top of darker backgrounds. Print a few copies of your favorite page so everyone in the family can try a different color palette and compare the results.

Coloring ideas for krampus
Try deep browns, charcoal gray, and warm black for the fur, then add pops of red, gold, and forest green for the ornaments, bells, and tree. Use pale blue and white for snowy backgrounds. Lanterns glow beautifully with yellow and orange blended together. For a friendlier Krampus, choose a soft plum or teal instead of dark tones. Metallic pens work well for chains and bells.

How do I print these coloring pages?
Open the page you like, choose print, and select letter size (8.5 x 11 inches) at 100% scale. Black-and-white mode saves ink. For markers or watercolor, use heavier paper or cardstock so the colors do not bleed through to the other side.
