More about these coloring pages
My kids really enjoyed the Away In A Manger coloring page last week after our Christmas program. They loved filling in the images of Mary holding baby Jesus and the bright star shining above the stable. As my 9-year-old colored, she wondered why Jesus was born in such a humble place. I reminded her of the verse 'there was no room' (Luke 2:7) and we talked about how it shows God's love for everyone, not just the rich and powerful. The six pages are wonderfully detailed and will keep them busy for a while. We even used our glitter gel pens to make the star sparkle! This is a great resource for church or family activities during the Christmas season.
