Reindeer Nibbling a Carrot Under the Moon

Free to print for personal and classroom use. This coloring page is part of the Reindeer collection, made for ages 2–4 and drawn in a Minimalist style. A good pick for Christmas.

🎨 How to color it

Use cocoa brown for the reindeer, bright orange for the carrot, pine green for the small tree, and pale yellow for the moon and stars. For little hands, color the reindeer’s big body and the snowy hills with chunky crayons first, and don’t worry if the lines get a visit too. Try making each snowflake a different soft color, like sky blue, lavender, and mint, so the quiet sky feels full of tiny surprises.

Oona Finds the Moon Carrot — Every night, Oona tapped the round snow hill—pat, pat—and sniffed for sleepy grass. The air felt cold and sparkly on her nose. Read the full story →

Every night, Oona tapped the round snow hill—pat, pat—and sniffed for sleepy grass. The air felt cold and sparkly on her nose. One night, a carrot poked from the snow where no carrot had been.

Because of that, Oona tugged it free. Crunch? No—plink! A tiny silver seed rolled out, smelling like moonlight. Because of that, she held very still until it hummed, “Plant me.” Finally, Oona tucked it by the little pine. Next time you see her carrot, can you imagine the pat, pat under the moon?
