- Create a Storyboard: After coloring, ask kids to write a short story or scenario—“Why is Krampus carrying coal? What happens next?” Use the colored pages as visual prompts.
- Decorate or Display: Hang the finished pages in a hallway, classroom bulletin board, or as part of a “Holiday Myth” wall.
- Art & Craft Extension: Cut out the characters and paste them into larger winter scenes, or add glitter, snow-flake stickers and textured materials for extra effect.

Fun Facts for Kids
- Krampus is a legendary creature from Alpine folklore, often described as the companion of Saint Nicholas who punishes naughty children—making him a “spooky” holiday character!
- In some traditions, people dress up as Krampus and parade through town on December 5th (Krampusnacht) creating fun and eerie winter pageants.
- The name “Krampus” comes from the German word krampen, meaning “claw”—so his horns, chains and switches are part of that creature-claw myth imagery.
