These Christmas art projects make great DIY gifts for grandparents too! Have kids draw their own snowman, Christmas tree, or sweater design. Then, let kids color or paint their creations for Grandma and Grandpa.

It’s a super cute way to remember all the fun you had with these printable Christmas drawing prompts too!
Use Christmas Drawing Prompts with Holiday Lessons
If you’re looking for something to add a little holiday fun to your lessons this December, these Christmas drawing prompt printables are just the thing. You can pair each of these printable drawing prompts with a book, a creative writing assignment, and more for a well-rounded lesson that’s perfect for those last few weeks before Christmas break.
Check out my favorite holiday lesson ideas with Christmas drawing challenges built right in:
Snowglobes Theme
Aren’t snowglobes magical? Even if you don’t live in a winter wonderland, you can create your own with this Christmas drawing prompt printable.
Kids will love reading more about the magic of snowglobes in The Snow Globe Family by Jane O’Connor. Then, make your own DIY snowglobe for even more fun.
Finally, add opportunities for handwriting practice and practice creative writing with a snowglobe writing prompt. Ask kids to write about what life might be like inside a snowglobe.
Santa Theme
Want to learn more about the big guy this year? There are so many exciting lessons you can teach your kids about Santa!
Some of my favorites include learning about geography with Google’s Santa Tracker. Did you know there’s even a city called North Pole in Alaska? Learn more about Santa all over the world with your kids this year in Julia Inserro’s book Where Would Santa Go?
Then, practice letter writing by writing your very own letters to Santa. Kids can even send their Christmas drawing challenge pictures of him along with their letters this year.
Snowman Theme
Do you want to build a snowman? Okay, I couldn’t resist. With this printable snowman Christmas drawing prompt, you won’t be able to resist creating your own snowy friend either.
Then, have kids write about how they would save their snowman from melting in the Summer. Encourage kids to practice writing step-by-step instructions for saving their snowman. Share stories over a cup of cocoa with lots of marshmallows.
Snuggle in for a family movie night with Frosty the Snowman. For lots of holiday laughs, read Freddie the Farting Snowman by Jane Bexley.
Finally, have some sensory learning fun with my homemade snow dough. It’s a great way to build your own little snowmen this December, even if you live in Florida.
Christmas Tree Theme
Read A Wish to Be A Christmas Tree by Colleen Monroe and Michael Glenn Monroe about a tree that’s just too big and never gets chosen for Christmas. Then, use this printable Christmas drawing challenge to encourage your kids to create their own beautiful Christmas trees.
Extend the learning with your own Montessori button Christmas tree or a printable game of Christmas Tree I-Spy. Then, have kids write about how to choose the perfect Christmas tree.
Christmas Cookies Theme
Who doesn’t love Christmas cookies? This year, while you’re making your holiday dinner, your kids can draw and design their own Christmas cookies with this drawing challenge printable. It’s a great mess-free way to continue the holiday cookie tradition in the classroom too.
Want to learn more about the history of Christmas cookies all over the world? Read A World of Cookies for Santa by M.E. Furman and Susan Gal. In the book, your kids will get to experience Christmas all over the world and you’ll get some delicious cookie recipes too.
Have your kids write about which country they’d like to visit for Christmas and why.
Don’t forget to make The Best Elf Cookies for Christmas with your family this December too. Your kids will love decorating these delicious treats just as much, I promise.
Ugly Christmas Sweater Theme
Add some STEAM project fun to your lessons this December with an ugly sweater Christmas drawing challenge. Use these printables to encourage your kids to draw their own ugly sweater design. Then, work together to bring their creations to life!
Read The Ugly Christmas Sweater Rebellion by Chris Boyd and Jordan Birch for lots of laughs and some cute ideas to get your kids started on their ugly Christmas sweater projects. Then, encourage them to brainstorm and draw their ideas with these Christmas drawing prompt pages.
Christmas Gifts Theme
There’s a printable page in this bundle that encourages your kids to fill Santa’s sleigh with gifts too. It’s a great opportunity for kids who aren’t reading and writing yet to draw the things they’re hoping Santa delivers to them this Christmas. Plus, you can use this page to talk about Christmas around the world too.
