16 Reindeer Coloring Pages

Reindeer have special noses that warm icy air before it reaches their lungs, and their eyes change from gold in summer to blue in winter to help them see in the long Arctic darkness. Their wide hooves shrink and harden in winter to grip ice, and they use them to dig through snow for lichen, a favorite food. In northern Scandinavia, the Sami people have herded reindeer for centuries. This set shows reindeer in winter scenes. A reindeer stands on a snow mound, rears up on hind legs, stands by a stack of pine trees and wears a bell collar. Cozy pages show reindeer in tall scarves and stacked with a scarf. A baby reindeer and two cute reindeer pages suit young children. Reindeer are brown and gray with a pale neck and belly. Antlers can be tan with lighter tips. Red or green scarves and gold bells add festive color. These pages fit Christmas and winter science lessons.
