More about these coloring pages

Last week, my 7-year-old grabbed the crayons and got to work on the Advent calendar coloring page. With each image, he asked questions about the Christmas story. I loved hearing him say, 'Let’s count the days until Jesus is born!' as he colored. This Advent calendar coloring page for kids includes six lovely images that help them understand the meaning of Advent. As they color, you can share about how Advent is a time of waiting and preparation for the celebration of Jesus’ birth. The kids can color scenes like the manger and angels, which makes it easy to connect the dots between the calendar and the story of Christmas. I printed it out for our family craft time, and it turned into a lovely discussion about 'the Word became flesh' (John 1:14) while we colored together. It's such a joy to see them engaged in learning more about our faith during this special season.
