Jingling Christmas Bells
These Christmas bells ring out a joyful holiday tune. Their cheerful jingle tells everyone that Christmas is near. Color the bells, ribbon, and holly for a festive finishing touch!
Bells Ready to Ring
These two Christmas bells look as if they might jingle at any moment. A big ribbon ties them together, and sprigs of holly peek out around the bow. Their curved shapes leave plenty of room for shiny colors and patterns. Your child can imagine the bells ringing a happy tune as family and friends gather for a festive holiday celebration.
Add Shine to Bells and Holly
Color the bells bright gold or yellow, then leave a small white spot to look like a shiny reflection. The ribbon could be classic red, icy blue, or a favorite fancy color. Holly leaves are usually dark green, and holly berries are often red. For extra flair, add tiny dots, stars, or stripes to the bow and make every part of the picture sparkle.
Why Bells Make a Jingle
Bells make sound when something inside them bumps against the metal. That inside piece is called a clapper. When a bell is shaken, the clapper taps the sides and creates a ring or jingle. Bells have been used for celebrations for a very long time. At Christmas, their bright sound is often used in songs, decorations, and cheerful parades.
