More about these coloring pages
Seeing my kids' faces light up when they color the Advent candles is priceless. The candles represent hope, peace, joy, and love, and each week they get to learn about their meanings. One of the pages shows a beautiful wreath with four candles, and my son, who's 9, asked why we light them. I shared that 'the light shines in the darkness' (John 1:5) as we wait for Jesus' birth. We also love the candle page featuring the nativity scene, which sparks great conversations about the Christmas story. These images are great for a quiet afternoon or even during our church class, as they help reinforce the importance of Advent in a fun way.
