Advent Wreath with Three Lit Candles
An advent wreath on which three of four candles are already lit.
Only one more week until Christmas! On this fir wreath, three of the four candles are already lit. Their flames stand upright and clearly visible above the candle bodies, while only the last candle on the far right still waits for its turn.
The picture shows a densely bound wreath made of many individual fir branches with finely jagged needles. Small leaves and round berries hide in clusters among the branches, adding extra structure to the greenery. At the bottom center sits a large, softly curved bow with pointed ends that visually ties the whole wreath together.
Coloring ideas
- Color the three burning flames in warm yellow, orange and a touch of red
- Give the fourth, still unlit candle a calm, light tone
- Color berries red and branches in several shades of green for extra depth
This motif suits children from about age 5, since the shapes stay large enough for crayons and wax pencils while the needle texture still offers something to discover. It fits perfectly with the third Sunday of Advent and can serve as a reminder that Christmas is just one week away. At home or in daycare, this coloring page pairs well with a small craft session around fir branches and bows.
