More about these coloring pages

Last Wednesday, my 7-year-old excitedly grabbed the Christmas Nativity Silhouette coloring page and began to fill it with bright colors. Each image, from the angel to the manger scene, beautifully illustrates the story of Jesus' birth. The page includes the lovely quote, 'She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger' (Luke 2:7), which we discussed as she colored. This simple activity sparked a conversation about how humble Jesus' beginnings were, and we even shared ideas about what it must have been like that night. These pages are perfect for a quiet afternoon or for Sunday school crafts. Plus, they’re easy to print and use anytime!
