Celebrate the Advent Season with a Jesse Tree Activity Pack
The Advent season is a beautiful one as it’s an opportunity for families to remember the true essence of the Christmas season.
There are many different Advent traditions that mark the days leading up to Christmas morning. The one tradition that holds a special place in my heart is that of the Jesse Tree.
What is the Jesse Tree Advent Tradition?
The Jesse Tree Advent tradition finds origin from the book of Isaiah, chapter 11, verse 1:
“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.”
This verse prophetically heralds the upcoming birth of Christ and what better way to prepare our hearts for His Birth on Christmas morning than with a Jesse Tree Advent Activity?
The Jesse Tree Advent tradition begins on December 1st.
Ways to use the Jesse Tree Activity Pack
Your family may use this Jesse Tree Activity Pack in three ways.
Each activity stems from a “Story behind the Ornament” Scripture reference that encourages a time of family devotional and instruction. You would use this Scripture guide for all three activities.
In Activity 1, your child is encouraged to color in the miniature ornament and glue the same onto the provided Christmas tree.
Each day an ornament is added to symbolize preparing the way for Christ’s birth.
In Activity 2, your child is encouraged to color the precut countdown card for the day, and when done hang the same on a ribbon long enough to hold 25 cards. This would form a Jesse Tree bunting.
Alternatively, you may also hang the countdown card on your family’s Christmas tree like an ornament instead of on the ribbon. This would be the third activity.
Older children are also encouraged to write a daily Jesse Tree prompt to make this activity all the more special.
