Story of Christmas Around the World, Volume 1-Level B

Item description

The story of Christmas around the world is shared in this HUGE resource that includes coloring pages with copywork about Christmas in France, Sweden, Kenya, Brazil, and Spain. Kids can discover all sorts of interesting facts about the way families in these countries celebrate Christmas, what they enjoy eating for special Christmas meals, and much more. They can discover what is often added to French Nativity scenes, what Swedish town builds a huge straw goat each year, which country enjoys nyama choma for Christmas, which country’s employees sometimes earn a 13th salary, and which country has a special Christmas character named Tió de Nadal, as well as what Le Réveillon, Les Treize, Fête des Rois (Epiphany), and St. Lucia’s Day are all about, plus so much more. 

This unit focuses on faith, family, and food traditions and customs. There is no mention of Santa Claus or gift-giving traditions. A short introduction highlights what the Christmas celebrations in the book have in common, and the end of the book focuses on thanking community helpers who don’t always get to take Christmas off to be with their families. 

Coloring pages are broken down as follows: Introduction (6 pages), Christmas in France (27 pages), Christmas in Sweden (30 pages), Christmas in Kenya (14 pages), Christmas in Brazil (20 pages), Christmas in Spain (20 pages), and Community Thank You (15 pages). *If you purchase multiple Story of Christmas Around the World volumes, please note that the Introduction and Community Thank You pages repeat in each volume, but each volume includes 100+ coloring pages about Christmas in five different countries with no repeated images or countries between volumes.
