Four tall candles stand in an evergreen wreath under the word "Advent", written in big hollow letters across the top of this Catholic Advent coloring page. Every candle has a small flame. A wide ribbon bow sits at the front of the wreath, with a cluster of three berries on each side of it. The candles and the letters are easy shapes for ages 4 and up, and the feathery branches give older children some finer coloring.

How this coloring page was created

This page started with one idea typed into Colorin AI: "the word Advent in big hollow letters at the top of the page, above an Advent wreath of evergreen branches and ribbon with four tall candles standing in it and a small flame on each candle, drawn with simple bold outlines for kids, the whole wreath kept small enough to leave a wide white margin below it, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

How to use it

A catechist or a family can hand out this page at the start of Advent, in the weeks before Christmas. Children can color one candle on each Sunday of Advent, so the wreath is finished by Christmas. A class can add its sheets to a wall display of the liturgical year. To put the name of your class under the wreath, design your own Advent page.
