The Christmas Stocking

The Christmas stocking! Cue small toys, candy canes, a Christmas orange, teddy bears, a Christmas Tree, and all the other surprises on Christmas morning!

Have any of you seen the Frozen video with Olaf when he talks about hanging your longest socks above an open fire? I guess I’ve never thought about that before… Doesn’t seem that safe does it?

Though probably in most houses it’s much more safe than it used to be. Considering my open fire is basically the YouTube video I find of a roaring fire. Ahh well. The Christmas magic is totally still there!

We have a fun Stocking Template Coloring Page that is a ton of fun too!

The Fun of Drawing

This drawing project is a perfect way to let kids get into all the art and creativity with none of the mess!

While I love crafting and glitter, I totally get that not everyone does all the time. This is where these drawing tutorials are the bomb! All they really need is a pencil and paper. You can't go wrong by adding some crayons and coloring pencils too.

Plus drawing enhances fine motor skills, encourages creative thinking, and is a fun learning experience at the same time! Sketch the outline of the stocking, fill it with simple shapes, and add those extra details! Boom! Tap that artistic side and the holiday spirit together!

Easy Christmas Stocking Drawing

This easy, step-by-step drawing guide, is perfect for young and super young artists. While it might not be great for preschoolers, it is easy enough for most kids to follow.

A couple of curved lines, some straight lines, and simple shapes make such a cute stocking! And don’t forget to tell them to draw some toys and treats in it! I love to get ideas for what kinds of holiday wishes my kids have when they draw. Then they don’t have to write out a list but I still get it figured out! They could even write a special message for Santa Claus! That’s a great idea too!

So bring on all the holiday wonder! And you can easily make it a whole lesson too! Talk about the traditions of Christmas (like opening stockings) or other traditions from other cultures.

This easy and happy drawing project is a great way to connect with the holiday season! If you’re short on time, no problem! If you just can’t bring anything else into your life, this works for that too!

So, grab those art supplies, gather around, and let’s draw some holiday joy together. Psss.... here are the drawing paper, and drawing pencils that we like to use.

How To Draw a Christmas Stocking

Start by printing out the free Stocking Drawing Step-by-Step Guide at the bottom of the post. Follow along with a sheet of paper and pencil.

First, draw a vertical (up and down) rectangle shape with rounded corners. Remember that with any drawing, start with light pencil strokes and you can always erase unwanted lines at the end.

Next, draw a second rectangle, this time make it horizontal (side to side) with rounded corners. This is the foot of the stocking.

Top of The Stocking

Next, draw a small point off the toe of the stocking to give it an elf shape and feel. Then draw a horizontal rectangle at the top of the stocking. This will be the opening of the stocking.

Next, add some wavy lines along the bottom of the last rectangle. This will give your Christmas stocking some fun detail. Then add a small curved line to the back or heel of the stocking. Then erase any of the extra lines.

We then added small circles to the bottom of each of the wavy lines for more detail as well as a small teddy bear shape at the top. For the teddy bear. Simply draw an oval for the face, then two long oval shapes off each side for the arms. Add two small curved lines for ears a simple face of two eyes and small circle for the nose and a curved line for the smile. Viola, you have a cute Christmas Stocking Drawing.

We love to outline our finished drawing with black pen and then use your favorite coloring tools (crayons, colored pencils, or markers) to color in your drawing!
