About this Bible story

During Advent, we light the candles on the wreath to remember Jesus’ coming. Each candle has its own special meaning. Kids can color the wreath and learn about hope and joy.

How to Use These Coloring Pages

Ask the kids why they think we celebrate Advent. While they color, highlight how the first candle reminds us of hope. This activity can take 15-20 minutes, and it’s a great way to connect coloring with learning about Jesus’ birth.

More about these coloring pages

Last Friday, we gathered around the table and started coloring the advent wreath. The kids were so excited to choose colors for the four candles and the central Christ candle. They called out, 'Look, this one is for hope!' as they colored. It's always a joy to see their enthusiasm during Advent, especially when they’re learning about Jesus’ coming. The advent wreath coloring page for preschool includes six fun images for them to color. One little girl asked me, 'Why do we light the candles?' I explained how each candle represents something important, like hope and peace. We talked about how we light the first candle and remember the promise of Jesus. The kids were engaged, and I could see they were making connections, just like when we say, 'Prepare the way of the Lord' (Isaiah 40:3). This free printable is perfect for our circle time and can be a delightful addition to any preschool classroom.
