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:
