More about these coloring pages
While my 4-year-olds colored the Bethlehem town scenes, I could hear their excitement about the nativity story. They carefully colored the little houses and the bright star shining over Bethlehem. I reminded them of the verse, 'But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah.' (Micah 5:2) as we discussed the special night when Jesus was born. Each page highlights the joy of that moment.
