More about these coloring pages

Last Sunday, my son grabbed his favorite crayons and started coloring the wise men with their beautiful gifts for baby Jesus. The nativity wise men bring gifts coloring page for kids includes six delightful images, showing the wise men on their journey and presenting their treasures. I love how this page prompts discussions about the meaning behind the gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh. As we colored, I mentioned how 'She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger' (Luke 2:7). It sparked a great conversation about the humble beginnings of Jesus.
