More about these coloring pages
Last week, we talked about the nativity story, and I brought the nativity baby jesus in manger coloring page for preschool to share with my class. The kids loved coloring the images of Mary and Joseph watching over Baby Jesus. One child, Sam, asked, 'Why was he in a manger?' I explained that 'She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger' (Luke 2:7) because there was no room in the inn. These pages are a great way to highlight the meaning of Christmas. Each image helps the children visualize this beautiful story. We used crayons, and I could see their excitement as they added colors to the scene. It’s a joy to see their smiles while they learn about Jesus' birth.
