More about these coloring pages
My 7-year-old, Emma, was so excited to color the Joseph and Mary Bethlehem coloring page last week. She loved seeing the images of Mary riding on a donkey while Joseph walked beside her. As she colored, she asked, 'Why did they have to go to Bethlehem?' I explained, 'So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth' (Luke 2:4). It opened a wonderful discussion about the Nativity story. With 6 images to color, it kept her engaged while I read more about their journey. This page is perfect for our homeschool lessons during Advent, and I love how it encourages kids to connect with the story in a hands-on way.
