Grab this cute handout over at Rachael's Booknook.
Celebrate the sweetest story ever told, one tiny treat at a time.
Turn everyday candies into thoughtful Christmas gifts, a daily scripture countdown, or a family Christmas Eve devotional. Our Nativity Candy Circles attach to wrapped treats like Hershey’s Kisses, Rolos, and miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups, adding a reminder of Jesus Christ to each little bite.
For a countdown, include one of each picture and choose a candy at random each day, December 1–24. Match the picture to the scripture guide and read about the Savior’s birth, life, and mission. For a Christmas devotional, use the separate numbered Nativity guide to assign readings and share the Christmas story together.
Or simply fill a mug, jar, treat bag, or stocking with decorated candies. No counting required! Add a matching gift tag for neighbors, teachers, friends, or the families you minister to.
Your instant-download PDF includes:
Two sets of 24 candy-circle designs: a KJV Bible edition and a Bible + Book of Mormon edition, with four complete sets per candy-circle page.
Matching scripture countdown guides for both editions, with picture references, short reading titles, and checkboxes.
Nativity devotional reading guides for both editions, with numbered assignments for reading the Christmas story in order.
Coordinating gift tags and jar-lid labels.
Assembly instructions and creative gifting ideas.
Print the candy circles at actual size, cut with scissors or a ¾-inch circle punch, and attach them to your wrapped candies with a glue stick or double-sided tape.
