More about these coloring pages
Last week, my preschool class was buzzing as we colored the nativity shepherds find Jesus coloring page. The kids loved seeing the shepherds filled with joy as they approached the manger. One of the pages shows a shepherd holding a cute little lamb, which made my 4-year-old, Lily, giggle. We also discussed how 'She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger' (Luke 2:7) and how special that moment was. After coloring, we talked about what it means to share good news. These six pages are great for reinforcing the nativity story while letting the kids express their creativity. They can practice their fine motor skills with crayons or markers, and I love seeing their interpretations of such a wonderful event!
