More about these coloring pages

Last Saturday, my 7-year-old colored one of the Advent candles and asked what hope really means. I explained how the first candle symbolizes hope and how it helps us remember to look forward to Jesus' birth. As she colored, I pointed out the verse from Romans 15:13, 'May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace.' This sparked a beautiful conversation about how we can share hope with others during this season. The coloring page features a big candle surrounded by stars, along with smaller images of joyful scenes. It’s simple enough for kids to enjoy, yet detailed enough to hold their attention. I plan to use it during our Advent study next week. It’s a great way to reinforce the lessons about the meaning of each candle as we celebrate the season together.
