More about these coloring pages

While coloring, my third graders really connect with the nativity story, especially the moment when Mary and Joseph find no room at the inn. One of the images captures Mary gently holding baby Jesus, and I love how engaged the kids get when they see 'She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger.' (Luke 2:7). This coloring page includes six scenes that illustrate the struggles and beauty of that first Christmas. Last week, I watched as one child, excitedly using bright colors, asked questions about why there was no room for Jesus. These pages are a wonderful way for kids to learn about humility and love in such a simple yet profound story.
