More about these coloring pages

Last Friday during our lesson, my third graders colored scenes from the nativity holy family stable coloring page for Sunday School. Each of the six images captures a special moment, like Mary holding baby Jesus and the star shining over the stable. As they colored, I reminded them of Luke 2:7, where 'She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger.' The kids loved seeing how the story came to life through their art. We even used crayons, markers, and some glitter to make it extra special! Coloring offers a wonderful way to engage them with the Nativity story while allowing their creativity to shine. I keep these pages in my Sunday school binder for future classes, ensuring that the nativity lesson stays fresh and exciting.
