My 7-year-old was so excited while coloring the shepherds and angels shepherds in field with sheep coloring page. The images of the shepherds watching their sheep really brought the story to life. As we colored, I reminded her about how the angels announced Jesus' birth, saying, 'Glory to God in the highest.' (Luke 2:14). It sparked a lovely discussion about the joy of Christmas. We had a great time using colored pencils and crayons, with my 5-year-old joining in too!

This is a wonderful activity for reinforcing the shepherds and angels Bible story during our homeschool lessons.
