More about these coloring pages

When my kids colored the Mary and Joseph pages last week, they couldn't stop asking questions about baby Jesus. They were especially drawn to the image of Mary holding him close. It reminded them of the love and care families share. 'Joseph took Mary and the child' (Matthew 2:14) really resonated with them. Each page captures a different moment from their journey, from the stable to their escape to Egypt. My 9-year-old added sparkly stars to the night sky, making it even more special. These are perfect for a quiet afternoon or to enhance our church crafts. Each time we color, we talk about how Mary and Joseph trusted God, which is such an important lesson for kids.
