More about these coloring pages
When we colored the nativity star over Bethlehem, my 4-year-olds were so excited to hear about the night Jesus was born. One boy pointed at the star and said, 'Is that where the shepherds went?' I smiled and answered, 'Yes!' as I reminded them that 'She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger' (Luke 2:7). The pages include the star, the manger, and even the angels. It's such a sweet way to bring the Nativity story to life. After snack time, we spent about 20 minutes coloring together. The kids loved using their glitter crayons on the star! This activity is a wonderful way to teach them about Jesus' birth and the joy it brings to our hearts.
