Wreaths for every Advent mood
Our pages go well beyond a simple circle of branches. You will find a wreath standing in front of the Christmas tree, a wreath decorated with hearts, and a wreath surrounded by little angels. Santa Claus pops up beside one wreath, and a tiny mouse peeks out from another. Some pages pair the wreath with an Advent calendar or a glowing lantern, while a rustic wooden wreath offers a cozy, natural look. Lines are clean and clear, so little hands can stay inside them, and there is enough detail in the pine needles, bows and candle flames to keep older kids engaged. Every design prints crisply on standard paper.
Tips for coloring and printing
Print on plain white paper for crayons and colored pencils, or choose slightly thicker cardstock if your child likes markers or watercolor. Younger children aged 3 to 5 can start with the larger wreaths and chunky candles, using crayons. Older kids can add shading to the branches, patterns on the ribbons and gradients to the flames. Try coloring one candle each Sunday of Advent, so the page grows along with the countdown. You can also:
- Cut out the finished wreath and hang it on a window
- Glue on glitter or small red paper berries
- Make a card for grandparents
Print several copies so everyone can join in.
Once your wreath is done, keep the festive spirit going with our Jesus coloring pages for the Nativity story. If you enjoy cozy seasonal themes, you may also like our autumn coloring pages or our birthday coloring pages for winter party fun.
Coloring ideas for advent wreath
Traditional Advent colors work beautifully: deep green for the branches, three purple candles and one pink candle for the third Sunday. Add warm yellow and orange to the flames, and red for bows and berries. For a rustic wreath, try browns and soft greens. Use metallic gel pens or a touch of glitter for ornaments, and leave the background white so the wreath seems to glow.
Frequently asked questions about advent wreath coloring pages
What age are advent wreath coloring pages suitable for?
They suit children from about 3 to 12. Toddlers and preschoolers enjoy the simpler pages with big candles and bold outlines, while older kids can handle the finer pine needles, ribbons and background scenes. Adults often enjoy them too as a calm holiday activity.
How do I print these coloring pages?
Open the page you like, choose print or download, and select US Letter or A4 paper. Use the 'actual size' setting so the wreath fills the sheet. Plain white paper works for most tools, and cardstock is better for markers or paint.
Are the coloring pages available as PDF?
Yes. Each page can be downloaded as a free PDF that keeps the lines sharp when printed. You can save it to your device, print as many copies as you need, and reuse it for classroom or family activities.
What colors are the candles on an Advent wreath?
Traditionally an Advent wreath has three purple candles and one pink candle, lit one per Sunday, with the pink one on the third Sunday. Some families use red or white candles instead, so feel free to color yours however you like.
