More about these coloring pages
During our Monday morning class, we talked about Mary and Joseph's journey. The kids were excited to color a picture of Mary holding baby Jesus. I reminded them of how 'she gave birth to her firstborn' (Luke 2:7), which sparked many questions! We also colored Joseph, who was so caring and protective. Each of the 6 images highlights different moments from the story, like their arrival in Bethlehem and the star shining brightly above. After coloring, we shared our favorite parts of the story and I was amazed at their understanding.
