All you need to produce artwork from the PDFs below is normal printer paper/card, scissors, adhesive and colouring pencils or paints. Two versions of the pictures are given in each PDF, black/white for colouring, and in full colour for printing finished items. If your printer paper seems too thin, the artwork can be attached to stiffer card for a more durable item.

Page contents:

The PDFs may be shared and used freely for home, educational and church purposes and for charity fund-raising. The contents and illustrations are copyright Beryl L Pratt and are not for commercial reproduction.

These Christmas PDFs are also available through aid charity Smile International, with the permission of the author, and if you would like to publicise Smile, please download their versions, which have the Smile logo and contact details – At present these can be downloaded from my Links page, as well as some further Colouring PDFs (Africa, India/Sri Lanka scenes and Christmas Shoeboxes), whilst their website is undergoing revision. (Please note that Smile International is the only organisation with permission to offer downloads of these PDFs on their website.)

More Bible stories and colouring pages of a general nature are planned at a later date.

Yellow Teddy's Colouring page also has pictures/cards PDF downloads, with line drawings of all his favourite treasures. Yellow Teddy is the Quality Control Organiser when it comes to artwork, as well as Chief Executive of the good ideas department.

Christmas Unwrapped I hope you enjoy this 4-minute video from the Bible Society's website. The beautiful paintings that illustrate it are an inspiration for further decoration and patterning of your own artwork:
