DoodleGrove Nutcracker Coloring Pages
Tall hats, curly mustaches and rows of shiny buttons: these nutcracker coloring pages bring the Christmas toy soldier to life. The easiest pages are one big nutcracker with a few gifts, a drum or a candy cane, and there is a teddy bear and a reindeer dressed as nutcrackers too. Then the story begins. A girl finds her nutcracker under the Christmas tree, the Mouse King studies his map, and the two rivals cross swords on a castle bridge. The Sugar Plum Fairy dances on stage, a prince lifts a ballerina, and a path leads to a candy castle with giant lollipops. These nutcracker coloring sheets mix simple shapes for little kids with busy ballet scenes for older ones. Every page prints on US Letter and on A4.
