Yesterday my son created this beautiful advent candle during his children's church session and the idea was simply too good not to share!
To create the base of the advent candle, a paper plate was provided together with a text "Jesus is Coming" and a ring of 24 candles to encircle the candle. We glued the centrepiece to the paper plate first and then my son chose from a variety of small decorative materials to be added to his base. He glued this around the centrepiece. The candle was the last piece to be added which was glued inside the ring of stars. Each day of advent he will colour in one of the stars until the ring is coloured in and it is Christmas. A simple and beautiful craft that could be easily put together as a last-minute Advent activity!
What we used:
Paper plate
Small decorative embellishments
A candle
A centrepiece with the words "Jesus is Coming" and 24 stars to encircle the candle (I do not have the printable, but it would be easy to recreate the text with a different wording (if preferred) and instead of using stars to colour in, the child could use star stickers to add to the centrepiece.
Glue
