A Treasury of Christmas Carols in Manuscript to Trace and Color

(0)
This large-print manuscript penmanship book with its richly colored, lavish illustrations focused on the story of Jesus’ birth is a delightful way for kids to practice their handwriting while focusing on Christmas. We created this book as a way to draw the family together during the Christmas season. Our kids loved to make Christmas last, from the first of December to the new year. Why not combine Christmas celebration and handwriting practice as your kids learn the words to multiple verses of favorite Christmas carols by tracing or copying them in manuscript printing? For each of 14 Christmas carols, we provide each verse of each carol in large-size (32-point) dotted manuscript printing cursive to trace, plus the same verse in solid print for kids to copy using the 11 decorated lined pages, in 5 line sizes, at the back of the book. Includes 2 bonus carols in solid print for copying (these do include 2 of the verses each to trace). We also include coloring pages depicting scenes from the story of the birth of Jesus, as well as pictures to color of families celebrating Christmas around the world. You are allowed to print out the pages for all family members in your same household year after year. We suggest putting the finished carol pages in a notebook and using it to sing the Christmas carols, either just as a family or with guests. Let this book be a jump off point to instill in your children a love for singing and a special place in your family schedule for singing Christmas carols every year at Christmas time. You can also purchase our Christmas music CD, Christmas Carols, Sweet and Clear (available on this site), which includes 10 of the carols that are in this book, for your children to listen to while they do the handwriting practice on these pages, or to provide the accompaniment as they sing along with it. The 16 songs included in this book are: O Little Town of Bethlehem What Child is This? Angels We Have Heard on High While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night The First Noel Silent Night Away in a Manger O Come All Ye Faithful Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Joy to the World It Came Upon a Midnight Clear O Holy Night In the Bleak Midwinter Of the Father’s Love Begotten Our coloring pages include many different views of the Nativity scene, manger animals, angels, Jesus blessing the children, Jesus triumphant entry, black folk leaving slavery behind, men and horses working in a barn, the Mexican tradition of Las Posadas, children caroling, children gazing at nativity scenes, magnificent Mount Shasta, and a waterfall scene near Mount Ranier. All coloring pictures are relevant to one or another verses in the Christmas carols. The professional handwriting font set used in our penmanship books is used by public schools across the U.S. This book is reproducible for all students living in the same home as the book’s owner.

These Christ-centered carols in a gentle style with classical style accompaniment make a restful but inspirational background for relaxation amidst the Christmas rush. Give your homeschool a holiday touch with Christmas music in the background during schooltime or as a sing-along with your children. Use this CD with our Christmas penmanship book, A Treasury of Christmas Carols to Trace and Color, to teach your children the carols you love and to draw your family together during the holiday season. Joymarie’s trained voice is soothing, rich, and sweet, and is accompanied by James’s and Joshua’s gentle but exhilarating classical-style harmonies on harp, recorder, flute, oboe, and strings, in a style reminiscent of Baroque composers. James sings baritone harmonies in some of the songs, and the children also sing several of the songs with Joymarie. Our music is very relaxing, yet intricate enough to keep revealing new musical secrets each time you listen to it. This CD includes the following tracks: Jingle Bells O Come, O Come, Emmanuel In the Bleak Midwinter Joy to the World Away in a Manger What Child Is This? Little Drummer Boy Of the Father’s Love Begotten It Came Upon the Midnight Clear Once in Royal David’s City Ding Dong Merrily on High Stille Nacht (Silent Night in German) Un Flambeau (Bring a Torch in French) O Holy Night Angels We Have Heard On High Quotes About This Product I really like your music! It’s so beautiful and subdued…I hope you and your family will continue to create beautiful music. P. Alegria I have been very blessed to discover *Christmas Carols Sweet and Clear by the Dunlap family…. Their voices are fresh and inspiring and the songs they have chosen are among some of the most God-honoring out there. This is a great addition to any family’s music collection. It will certainly be a collector’s item at our house. Lynda Coats Author of Far Above Rubies and How Blessed Is the Man

This copy book of beautiful, picturesque writing set amidst illustrations of natural beauty will delight kids from 4th grade through 12th. Full of word-picture scenes of the beautiful and interesting things a forest holds. Written by a homeschooling mother and daughter with the goal of giving students ample cursive practice of each letter in the alphabet. On its page each letter is repeated up to 42 times, but in sentences that are sensible yet charming enough kids will gladly do any page twice. Delightful text worth reading aloud as examples of alliteration, with breathtakingly beautiful coloring pages and a special section at the end of illustrated nature craft ideas to try. Here is a sampling of a sentence or 2 from over half of the delightful stories kids get to copy in this book: A - Acorns scattered across the forest floor are destined to become great oak trees… B - Birds bless the forest with their ballads, bringing the beautiful gift of song… C - The chipmunk scampers away, scattering leaves, and cheats the hawk of an afternoon snack… D - …They dine until satisfied. Then the deer detect danger. Suddenly, with a soft drum of hooves, they disappear into the woods… F - A shaft of light filters onto the forest floor through the firs. I find a frilly fern and finger its feathery leaf… L - Lacy leaves seem to laugh as they fall lightly to the forest floor… M At midnight, the mice are awake, meandering amid the many leaves and mosses… N - Blind birdlings rest contentedly in a round nest in a branch high above the ground… O - Old oak trees spread their strong boughs across the forest canopy, groping for light… P - Picture-perfect pines among the peaks line the peaceful pathway… R - The brush by the path rustles, and several rascally raccoons burst forth from amidst the branches… S - In the sunlight glistens a sparkling forest stream… V - Vivid violets quivering in the breeze thrive in their quiet place… W - Wildflowers waving in the wind, whisper in the wilderness. Wisps of yellow petals break off and wander away in the wind… This is the second book in a series of outdoors penmanship books that also includes A Backpacker’s Alphabet, about the basics of backpacking for camping enthusiasts and anyone who loves the outdoors, and Have a Wonderful Walk!, telling how to make family walks exciting and varied.
