About this coloring page
A wooden nutcracker toy soldier stands straight with his arms at his sides. He wears a tall hat with a decoration at the front, a jacket with rows of braid across the chest and shoulder pads with fringe, a belt with a buckle, and tall boots. He has a big curly mustache and a square jaw.
Coloring ideas
Red jacket, black hat and boots, and gold trim are the traditional nutcracker colors. Try blue or green for a different regiment. Give his cheeks a little pink. White pants and a black belt make a classic look.
Skills practiced
Nutcrackers were made to crack nuts and are now a popular decoration. The ballet story of the Nutcracker is a great read-aloud to pair with this page.
Printing tips
The jacket has many small details, but the shapes are clear. Print it for a holiday ballet or music lesson. Older kids can trace the gold braid lines carefully with a metallic marker.
