Alllllll the All about Advent & Christmas Printables- Free for you!


The days left in Advent are dwindling, and I know as a teacher I am looking for activities to use in my classroom during the snippets of time before Christmas break. And I bet that parents will be looking for some tools to keep little hands busy while everyone is together over the Christmas Season.  

Shari Van Vranken of Catholic Paper Goods and I have worked hard over the past couple of months to make a huge collection of coloring and activities pages. Using the artwork and catechetical content from our book All about Advent & Christmas: Sharing the Seasons of Hope & Wonder with Children, we hope make the book more interactive this Season and for years to come. We've shared a few printables already and still have more to come... but we want to get them all in your hands NOW so that you can put them to good use- and we're offering them totally FREE!

We've compiled a collection of over thirty pages of printables for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, including simple coloring pages (with snippets of catechetical content to give them meaning), more complex activity pages for older kids, a few resources translated into Spanish, a bulletin board set, and a clickable calendar with activities for each day.

You can access ALL THE RESOURCES IN THIS FOLDER

Or, you can download ONE FILE WITH ALL ACTIVITY PAGES 

Here is a list of the resources included. Many of these activities also have (or will have) their own blog post with additional information and connected resources to help parents and teachers use them well. You can find the links to those posts below:

And all of them work perfectly alongside our book All about Advent & Christmas: Sharing the Seasons of Hope & Wonder with Children, which you can find at The St. Paul Center here or on Amazon here

  2. Hi will you be updating the clickable calendar that was a digital bonus with purchase of the book last year?

    1. Hmmm, that's a good question! I wish that I could turn it into a perpetual calendar... but I'll add it to my to-do list to update for 2024!

  3. Hello Katie! These are absolutely wonderful - thank you so much for creating them, and for your generosity in sharing them! I see that you have made your printables free for personal or classroom use. Would you be okay with copies being shared with the children of our parish via our "Children's Mass Table"? We place liturgically relevant coloring pages on this table year-round to help engage and occupy the littlest ones in our community during Mass. Thank you!
