More about these coloring pages
While coloring the shepherds and angels, my kids asked what the angels said to the shepherds. I told them about the moment in Luke 2:14 when the angels proclaimed, 'Glory to God in the highest.' They loved imagining the angels shining brightly in the night sky. Each page captures the excitement of the shepherds rushing to see Jesus. One afternoon, my 9-year-old worked on the shepherds with their sheep, while my 5-year-old focused on the angels and stars. It's a great way to engage kids with the Christmas story!
