Christmas Do-A-Dot Worksheets for Younger Children

Young toddlers and young preschoolers (age 2-4) will enjoy the do-a-dot pages with large, simple images from the Christmas story. These work well with dot markers, helping to increase fine motor skills, and are equally fun with circle stickers. As Toddlers and Preschoolers work on these pages, you can tell them a portion of the story or read the story from a story Bible. With older children, encourage them to draw the rest of the story around the images on the pages.

 
Christmas Alphabet Coloring Pages

Preschoolers and kindergarten students (age 4 - 6) who are starting to learn their alphabet will enjoy coloring the Christmas alphabet pages and noticing the letters. These pages introduce one word (or concept) from the Christmas story, and they each include the letter, the word, a simple image and a Bible verse showing that word at use in the Christmas story. Children can be encouraged to find the key word in the verse at the bottom of the page and point out other uses of the letter. After (or while) they complete the picture, find the verse in the Bible and read it in context and/ or read a portion of the story from the Bible or your favorite Bible storybook. 

Christmas Handwriting Pages

These pages are designed to give kids writing practice using the key words from the Christmas story. These are perfect for younger elementary students learning handwriting.
