The Twelve Days of Christmas — Counting & Tracing Book | Printable + Tablet Christmas Activity for Toddlers

Twelve days. Twelve numbers. One page a day through December.

A partridge in a pear tree, two turtle doves, three French hens — all the way to twelve drummers drumming. The Twelve Days of Christmas turns a carol your child already half-knows into their first proper counting book.

What's on every page

• A Christmas picture to colour — bold outlines made for crayons, chunky markers and hands still learning to stay inside the lines.
• Counting boxes — one box to colour for every single thing on the page. Touch, say, mark: this is how early counting actually sticks, and it's the part most colouring books leave out.
• Real handwriting rulings — the blue baseline, red dashed midline and dotted descender line used in classrooms. Trace the numeral, then trace the word underneath: one, two, all the way to twelve.
• A Christmas cheer — an original rhyme written for that day, silly enough to ask for twice.

Two ways to use it, one download

A 15-page print-ready A4 PDF for home or school, plus a transparent-background version of every page for tablet colouring apps — Procreate, GoodNotes and most free colouring apps. Your child colours underneath the black outlines with a stylus or fingertip, and the linework never smudges away. Counting boxes and tracing rows included in the digital version too.
