Here is a printable Christmas book about the 12 Symbols of Christmas. I have taken symbols of Christmas that we see all over the place and researched the true meaning of them. Each one has a Bible Verse along with and explanation and a simple picture. This would be good for children preschool and up as well as personal family time. This can be incorporated into any lesson about Christmas as well as a stand alone story.

Here are a few ideas for using the book, if you want to extend this into a longer lesson:
- You can have each item in a large bag. Have children take turns taking an item out of the bag and then the corresponding page can be read along with it.
- You can have a picture of each item in the book. Hide these pictures around the room and have the children find the pictures before reading the book. As you read each page, have the child who found that page stand up and show their picture.
- You can print out this book using the Coloring Book part of your printer so that the children can color their own book as you read it to them.
- You can use this with the 12 days of Christmas 12/13 through 12/24. Read/Color a page a day and put up that item in your house/room after learning about it.
This is a neat idea and I would really like to use it. How do I use the coloring book part of my printer. I don’t see anything that says that.
Thanks.
I like this booklet and would like to use it in this year’s Sunday school Christmas party. However, I’m wondering how to put the pages together without cutting and gluing. The pages aren’t centered, and the page order as set up is awkward. I would fix it myself, but the images are not movable. Can you offer some help or advice as to how to print this in booklet form?
I read ” The 12 Symbols of Christmas Book” . It is perfect ! I was thinking of something differant for a christmas party for my sunday school class grades first through third. I will have each child pick out a symbol to make and make one for each person in the group and bring it to the party. This is a way each person will receive a beautiful gift with a copy of the book and each gift is equal.Thank you.God bless you and your family.
I HAVE BEEN TEACHING SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR 31 YEARS NOW AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING “NEATER” THAN THIS “BOOK”! IT IS AN AWESOME IDEA AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE IT WITH MY 1ST GRADERS! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU WITH MANY MORE IDEAS.
