Ages 3–8 · Advent coloring countdown
by John MacGregor
A 25-day journey to Christmas. Each day pairs a short, gentle piece of the Nativity story with a coloring page, so little ones can follow Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem one evening at a time — a simple family tradition for the Advent season.
Ages 8–12 · An Advent Story & Coloring Book · 25 Days to Christmas
by John MacGregor
Walk the road to Bethlehem with your family this Advent.
Written in the spirit of Charlotte Mason’s living books, 25 vivid, reverent readings follow the story of Jesus’ birth in Bible order, with real history and nature woven through. Each day pairs a King James passage, a “Tell It Back” narration prompt and a “Shine Your Light” virtue with a detailed nature-study coloring page: no halos, just accurate Holy Land plants, animals and people.
Every day: a living story, Scripture, narration and a picture to color
