More about these coloring pages
My kids love hearing the story of the Christmas shepherds, especially when they learn about the angels bringing good news. 'There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby' (Luke 2:8) is such a relatable verse for them. We printed the Christmas shepherd coloring page for kids last Friday, and my 9-year-old spent time filling in the shepherds, the sheep, and the starry night sky. It turned into a great discussion about why the shepherds were chosen to hear the news first. These pages spark curiosity and creativity, making it easy to talk about the true meaning of Christmas. Each of the 6 images captures different moments from the story, including the shepherds in the fields and their journey to find baby Jesus. I love having these easy Christmas shepherd coloring pages handy for our homeschool sessions. They’re perfect for encouraging my kids to ask questions and think about how they would feel if they were there that night.
