More about these coloring pages

As we gather for circle time, the kids love to hear about the meaning of the first Advent candle. They sit at the small tables with crayons ready, excited to color. The Advent Candle Week 1 coloring page has six adorable images, including a shining candle and joyful decorations. I often remind them of Romans 15:13, 'May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace.' We talk about sharing joy during this special season while they color.
