Jesse Tree... all in one place

A few years ago, I made these coloring page Jesse Tree ornaments to go along with the reflections that my SIL, Erin Manning, wrote but they were scattered all over in different files. I finally have them collected all in one place.
This is a Jesse Tree that is only for the month of December, so it started yesterday. I meant to get it out then, but it took me longer than I thought to figure out how to merge pdf files. Sorry.


Click on the link above to download the single file that includes all the reflections and the coloring pages. If you've never tried a Jesse Tree before, this is an easy (and free!) way to try one.

Hoping your Advent has been everything you want it to be!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wasn't going to do the Jesse tree this year because it seemed like one more thing. And I'm a tired mama. But then I saw your blog post. I printed out the ornaments today, we did the readings for the first 2 days tonight, and the kids will color the ornaments tomorrow. It worked out beautifully! Your blog is such a treasure.

This is great! I have our Jesse Tree out, but haven't put a single thing on it yet. After 20+ years of doing it, you think I'd have my act together by now. One of the problems I always had was the Jesse Tree readings could greatly vary - some were very in depth and overkill for the little ones, and sometimes there were too many readings and ornaments to fit in "our' Advent. Every year I thought of compiling my own list of readings and meditations, but you know how that goes - Thanksgiving and then - aack - Advent! and Christmas cards! On behalf of all disorganized Catholic moms everywhere, thank you.

Hi Matilda. I like your art. Right now my kids are too young for this. What do you think is a proper age for kids to get started or is this more intended for adults?

PS. Let me know if you are still having problems with merging pdfs. Like everything, it can be made easy.

Best,
Gus
