Santa Feeding Baby Rudolph coloring page

 Santa loves this free coloring pages blog.  

All of the drawings were done by me... except for about 7 done by 

a grandniece and grandnephew. 

Today's new drawing is of Santa from when Rudolph was born in the spring...

many years ago.

Santa Feeding Baby Rudolph

Most of us love the stop-motion Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer children's program. I am one of those who love that movie.  I was born with a birth defect so I felt different much of my life.  I had a tracheotomy for 8 years when I was a child and I have one now as well.  So the story of Rudolph being different and yet winning the day was wonderful to me. 

However, I have it on good authority that Santa NEVER rejected Rudolph for being different.  Santa respected variety in living things - people, elves, animals, and Christmas trees.  So this drawing shows Santa feeding Rudolph some corn to help cheer the young reindeer up.  You see, Rudolph WAS bullied.  I can relate to that too.  But my parents and friends helped me feel like I was able to do anything.  So I swam with my trach cored.  I herded cows, burned weeds on our farm, and fed the pigs.  I played drums in the school and later the BYU band.  So I am a big fan of the Rudolph story, but I am certain Santa was kind to Rudloph, just like my friends Kurt, Mike, Jim, Greg, Julie, Natalie, Richard etc. were to me.  

So now you see why I drew Santa being kind to the young Rudolph.

Joseph holding Baby Jesus coloring page

You have found my free coloring pages blog with my drawings

that you can print and give to kids to color... or color them yourself. 

Today's new drawing is of Joseph the husband of Mary and step-father of Jesus.

Joseph holds Baby Jesus

I think we should recognize Joseph for his greatness.  He was the husband of Mary and the stepfather of Jesus.  He raised Jesus and of course, he also saved Jesus' life.  When Herod was going to kill all the children of a certain age Joseph was warned in a dream to flee to Egypt.  He did so and took his family thus saving Jesus from death,  Joseph was also kind enough not to publicly shame Mary when she became pregnant with the Savior.  And when the angel told him that Mary's baby was the Messiah... Joseph believed,  Then he finalized their marriage and clearly cared for Mary.  He waited for marital sexual intimacy but I suspect he was kind and caring to Mary. He was also clearly a good earthly father to Jesus - even though Jesus was not Jeseph's biological son.   Later Joseph and Mary had children.  I drew Joseph rather stout and muscular.  Not overweight, just powerfully built.  After all, Joseph was a carpenter and would have been buff from lifting heavy beams, boards, etc.   In conclusion, I would say that Joseph is one of my Biblical heroes.

Brittnia the Cruise Mermaid with Sandpiper

 This is my free coloring page blog with over 3000 of my coloring page drawings.

Today's new drawing is of a Cruise Mermaid named Britania. 

Brittnia the Cruise Mermaid with Sandpiper

Some Mermaids and Mermen like to hang out near cruise ships.  They even may go into mortal form to go on a cruise.  Then they will sneak off the ship for a swim in the ocean.  The problem of getting back on ship is easier than you would think.  Like Fairies, Merpeople have magical powers including a self-levitation charm that can get them back onboard the cruise ship.  Their magic also helps them go into a Mermaid or Merman outfit when they hit the ocean.  And they conjure up their mortal-style clothing upon returning onboard the ship. 

By the way, Merpeople are very intelligent and have been known to study at mortal universities.  Frequently they get a PhD or PsyD or EdD etc.  Brittaia here is one of those Mermaids.  But she DOES like going on cruises.  Her income in the mortal world is useful for paying for the cruises.  In fact, going on cruises is how she goes home to visit family off the coast of Brittany, France.  

Sandpipers are a common bird near the shores of both ocean and inland lakes.  They have long legs and pretty coloring on their feathers.  They hang out on sandy beaches and they have a long narrow beak that sounds like they are piping, hence the name "sandpiper."

Nativity 2024

Welcome or welcome back. This is my free coloring pages blog with over 3000 drawings that I have done for you to print and color.  A few drawings were done by a grandniece and grandnephew as well. Today's new drawing is of the Birth of Jesus Christ or the Nativity.  I try to do a Nativity drawing each year.  In fact, earlier this year I did a drawing of Jesus in a wooden manger. 

Nativity 2024

Jesus was born in a stable. His bed was a manger.  Back then sometimes caves were used to stable animals so this drawing is of the Nativity if the stable was in a cave... presumably by the inn.  It is amazing to think that the creator of our world was born in such a humble circumstance.  

Jesus was born to teach us to love one another, obey His commandments, and to be kind.  He also was born to pay the eternal price for our sins.  This made it possible for us all to be cleansed from our sins so that we can one day return to live with our Heavenly Parents.  

If you read the New Testament of the Holy Bible you will see that Jesus was kind to the disenfranchised and to people who were outcasts of society.  That teaches us a powerful and important lesson. We have been watching The Chosen TV show and it has been very educational for us to see how Jesus ministered to the outcasts of society.  He also had a lot to say to those who persecuted others and took advantage of their fellowmen.  Yet He opens the possibility of repentance to all.

Nutcracker Coloring Page

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog. 

There are over 3000 drawings that I have done that you can print. 

Today's new drawing is of a Nutcracker...

 based on the Nutcracker Ballet.

I took my grandkids to that ballet two nights ago. 

It was done by the Cache Valley Civic Ballet and it was wonderful!

Nutcracker

The Nutcracker is an amazing story that was made into a ballet. The original story was called The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. You can buy decorative "nutcrackers" in many places.  They are associated with Christmas.  By the way, the original story was written in German.  The ballet music was written by Taichowsky, a Russian composer. Yet the Nutcracker Ballet is beloved in many parts of the world. 

Likewise, there are so many different versions of Nutcracker soldiers.  I will be posting more drawings or coloring pages of versions of the Nutcracker.  I have 6 different Nutcrackers in my home.  Each one is unique.  Since this is my first Nutcracker drawing I have labeled it simply "Nutcracker."

Elf Princess, Dwarf, and Hobbit

 Welcome or welcome back to my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing is of an Elf Princess, a Dwarf, and a Hobbit. 

Elf Princess, a Dwarf, and Hobbit

This is a drawing of an Elf Princess in her armor.  A Dwarf is also seen in his chainmail armor.  The smaller person between them is a Hobbit with a small sword.  These are a team of Dragon Whisperers.  Dragon Whisperers are able to communicate meaningfully with Dragons.  Not all Dragons are evil and malicious.  This is a young Dragon that is a Wyvern.  Now, these Wyverns are sometimes vicious, but when trained young they become far more docile. 

The Elven Princess is named Tiffania, the Dwarf is named Joshiah, and the Hobbit is named Cedrico.

NOTE:  When I draw particularly beautiful magical people I must emphasize that this medium is not conducive to capturing their full beauty.  However, I will say that this group of Dragon Whisperers are some of the most beautiful creatures I have ever met.  They are not just beautiful on the outside, they are very beautiful on the inside.  This is a far more important type of beauty.
