16 Sled Coloring Pages
Sleds have been used for thousands of years to move people and goods across snow. Early sleds were pulled by people, dogs and reindeer, and in the 1800s wooden sleds with steel runners became a favorite winter toy. Sledding is fast because the smooth runners or bottom glide over snow with very little friction. This collection features sleds in winter scenes. A child rides a sled, a sled sits on a hill, and several sleds stand upright decorated with gifts and a pine tree, a hat and snowballs, a heart and ice skates, a peppermint pattern and scarf, and a pine with a moon and lantern. A cute sled and a sled character suit young kids. Classic wooden sleds are warm brown with red runners, but plastic sleds can be any bright color. White snow with blue shadows and a clear blue or starry sky complete the scenes. These pages are a natural fit for snow days and winter safety talks about wearing helmets.
From a smiling sled to a snowy hill
Cute Sled Character and Cute Sled are easy pages with clean lines, big slats and simple runners. Kid on Sled and Sled on Hill are medium, since coat seams, hat stripes, pine branches and a tiny sled in a snowy scene need more careful coloring. Younger kids can start with the smiling sled, then try the winter scenes once they feel confident with small shapes.
Winter colors and snow day ideas
Red, honey brown and forest green suit classic wooden sleds, with silver or red runners. Bright coats, striped hats and mittens make the rider pop against white snow, and pale blue shadows add depth to the hill. Kids can draw snowflakes, a snowman or friends waiting their turn at the top of the slope to build a full snow day story.
