More about these coloring pages
My 9-year-old was so excited to color the Nativity scene last week. As she worked on the page, she asked why Mary and Joseph had to stay in a stable. It opened up a lovely discussion about humility and God's plan. The Christmas Nativity Scene coloring page for kids includes six adorable images of the holy family, the shepherds, and the angels. It's a wonderful way to engage kids in the Christmas story. I love that it includes the detail of 'there was no room for them in the inn' (Luke 2:7), reminding us of the true meaning of Christmas. We often use these pages during our homeschool lessons, providing a fun way to learn about Jesus' birth.
