About this Bible story
In the Christmas story, wise men traveled far to see the new King. They followed a bright star that led them to Jesus. As it says in Matthew 2:2, 'We saw his star when it rose.' This coloring page captures that special moment.
“We saw his star when it rose.”
How to Use These Coloring Pages
While coloring, ask the children, 'What do you think the star looked like?' Highlight the moment the wise men first saw the star in Matthew 2:2. You could use colored pencils for finer details and plan to share a snack afterward to celebrate their hard work.

More about these coloring pages
During last week's craft time, my 5-year-old students were excited to color the Christmas Star. We talked about how the wise men followed the star to find Jesus. One child pointed out, 'We saw his star when it rose' (Matthew 2:2), and the others chimed in with their own stories about Christmas. This Christmas star coloring page for preschoolers has six adorable images, from the star shining bright to the wise men on their camels. Each page is a simple yet delightful way to reinforce the Christmas story. I even set out some glitter crayons to make the stars sparkle! We spent about 30 minutes coloring and discussing the meaning behind the star, which helped create a warm and festive atmosphere in the classroom. It’s a free printable that can easily be shared for family activities or church events, too.
