Free Advent Coloring Countdown {Gentle, Christ-Centered}
Advent always seems to sneak up on me. One minute we’re finishing nature walks through the fallen leaves, and the next we’re playing Christmas carols and pulling out the nativity. I always love filling December with all the beautiful things like our favorite Christmas books, music, baking, and family traditions, but most of all, I want to keep our hearts focused on the reason we are celebrating.
That’s why I created this free Advent coloring countdown. The Journey to Bethlehem gives your children a simple way to follow Mary and Joseph toward Bethlehem throughout December, with a short Scripture reading each day and a beautiful coloring page that brings them one step closer to Christmas.
It has become such a simple way to bring the Christmas story into our homeschool mornings while giving my children something special to look forward to each morning.
