Advent Wreath Crafts For Kids (The Ultimate List!)

Advent is a great time to celebrate with kids! Sometimes it’s hard to find good Advent crafts because the world just seems to move straight from Halloween to Christmas, but having an Advent wreath in our home is one of our favorite family traditions for living the liturgical year! I also love to take the time to make Advent wreath crafts with kids because when kids make it themselves, it becomes their own. They are excited about it, and they absorb the information better. So they can better remember the colors and meaning of the candles, the shape of the wreath, etc, because they have made it themselves. What a great way to remember that the season of Advent is about waiting and preparing for Baby Jesus! You can find all of my Advent wreath resources for kids here, and below you will find the most ultimate list of Advent wreath crafts ever! 🙂

Advent Wreath Craft Templates

Sometimes, the simplest crafts come in the form of printables, and they’re still really fun and cute! These are often a great choice if you’re trying to craft with an entire classroom. Check out these printable Advent wreath crafts and coloring pages. 

This is a freebie from Sara J Creations for a mosaic advent wreath craft! The template is free to print, and the kids rip and glue paper to fill it all in. Super cute, right?

    Love your website! Awesome ideas for everything in the Liturgical Year that you could think of! I’m a teacher for our church and I’m using the Easter calendar right now trying to teach the kids about Easter. I used the Lent Calendar too and my students had a great time coloring those days and decorating it. You’re very creative., Love your ideas!

    This is the Advent song I learned when I was a little girl singing in the choir at church

    .The Whole World Is Waiting for Love

    We’re waiting for Jesus like Mary,
    We’re waiting for Jesus the Lord.

    Come down, Lord Jesus!
    Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
    The whole world is waiting for Love,
    The whole world is waiting for Love.

    We’re laying a manger for Mary,
    A manger for Jesus the Lord.

    Come down, Lord Jesus!
    Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
    The whole world is waiting for Love,
    The whole world is waiting for Love.

    We’re making it lovely for Mary,
    So lovely for Jesus the Lord.

    Come down, Lord Jesus!
    Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
    The whole world is waiting for Love,
    The whole world is waiting for Love.

    The music is still in my head, but I’m sure if you google it you could find the tune.

  3. Quick question…Is the Advent calendar with the holly leaves included in your advent planner?

    • Hi Martha –

      The printable Advent wreath calendar is not included in the Advent and Christmas Planner.
