More about these coloring pages

Last Tuesday, my 4-year-olds were so curious about the gifts the wise men brought to Jesus. They eagerly colored the frankincense pages, which show the Magi holding beautiful gifts. One child even pointed out, 'They opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh' (Matthew 2:11). It was adorable to see their excitement! We also had a few moments where they shared what gifts they would bring Jesus if they could.
