More about these coloring pages
Every December, we gather to celebrate the Christmas Nativity Scene. Just this past Wednesday, my 4-year-olds were excited to color Mary and Joseph in the stable. They kept asking questions like, 'Where’s baby Jesus?' as we colored. The kids really enjoy the moment when they see the shepherds and wise men arriving, eager to meet the newborn King. It's a heartwarming reminder of the joy brought by His birth, as we say, 'For unto you is born this day a Savior' (Luke 2:11). With 6 free printable images, these coloring pages make it easy to teach our little ones about the true meaning of Christmas. Using crayons, they can create their own vibrant scenes, while I share the story of Jesus' humble beginnings. I love seeing their faces light up as they bring the Nativity to life with color.
