Advent Wreath with One Lit Candle
An advent wreath with one lit candle and three more candles still unlit.
A round fir wreath lies flat across the page, decorated with a big bow and small berry sprigs. Of the four candles, only the first one is lit so far, while the other three stand side by side, still unlit.
What can you see?
The lit candle stands at the far left and carries a pointed flame with a small inner wick. The remaining three candles are plain, without a flame, lined up in the middle and to the right. The wreath itself is built from many individual fir branches with jagged needles, with small round berries grouped in threes between them. At the bottom center, a large, softly draped bow holds the wreath together visually.
Who is this picture for?
The clear, large candle shapes and the calmly arranged wreath suit children from about age 5 well. The fir branches add some structure without overloading the picture, so beginners can manage it comfortably.
- Color the lit candle in warm yellow and orange
- Give the bow a classic red or another festive color
- Make the berries stand out in bold red
An advent wreath with one candle traditionally marks the first Sunday of Advent, the start of the countdown to Christmas. This coloring page pairs well with talks about counting the weeks until Christmas and works nicely at home, in kindergarten, or at school as an opening activity for the season.
