More about these coloring pages
During our Sunday school class, the kids were so excited to color the Joseph and Mary Bethlehem scenes. They loved bringing to life moments like Mary riding on a donkey and Joseph looking for an inn. One student, Sarah, proudly showed off her work with bright colors. As they colored, I reminded them about the scripture, 'So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth' (Luke 2:4). This helped them connect the story to their artwork. The six images are simple yet meaningful, making them ideal for our lesson. I keep a printed copy in my binder for each quarter, and the kids never seem to tire of it, especially during the Christmas season.
