Jesse Tree Ornaments Printable – 25 Day Watercolor Advent Ornaments with Bible Readings
25 days of God's big story, from Creation to the manger. Each evening in December, read one short card together, talk about the symbol, pray a one-line prayer, and let a child hang that day's ornament. By Christmas morning your little tree tells how every promise pointed to Jesus.
The ornaments are original soft watercolor illustrations by Even This Has Purpose, simple and readable for little ones.
"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots…" Isaiah 11:1
