Magical Christmas Snow Globe Coloring Pages to Print

Christmas snow globes have such a magical charm, don’t they? Whether it’s Santa in the snow, a cosy gingerbread house, or a tiny winter village, there’s something soothing about watching the “snow” fall in slow motion. These Christmas snow globe coloring pages bring that same peaceful joy to a quiet afternoon at home.

When my kids were little, we spent hours doing crafts at Christmas. We made presents for family members, and made Christmas cards in mass. Sometimes, I was even known to let the kids use glitter 😬 (Anyone who knows me well, knows how much hatred I have for the stuff!)

But sometimes you need a calm, mess-free activity that still feels festive and fun. That’s exactly what these snow globe printables are perfect for: a fun, alternative take on the usual Christmas images.

With classic scenes like penguins, reindeer, angels, nativity sets, and winter cabins, these coloring pages are a lovely way to wind down, spark imagination, and enjoy some cosy creativity together.

Coloring pages and worksheets are free for personal or classroom use.

Fun Facts About Snow Globes

Snow globes were first made in Austria more than 100 years ago, and people loved shaking them even back then.
Early snow globes used tiny porcelain flakes or crushed eggshells as snow instead of plastic.
The water inside a snow globe is mixed with a thick liquid so the snow falls slowly and looks magical.
Many snow globes have surprises inside, like tiny animals, glitter, or even music boxes that play a tune when you wind them up.

Snow Globe Science Experiment

For a quick and fun experiment, let your child test which liquid makes “snow” fall the slowest.

You will need:

3 clear cups, water, a squirt of washing-up liquid, a little glycerin or syrup, and glitter.

What to do:

Cup A: fill with water
Cup B: water + a bit of washing-up liquid
Cup C: water + a teaspoon of glycerin or syrup

Drop glitter into each cup and watch which one makes it fall the slowest. What happens if you mix the solution with a spoon once it has settled? Is there anything else you could try using?

Real snow globes use thicker liquids (like glycerin) because they make the “snow” float and swirl gently.
