How to Use These Coloring Pages
While coloring, ask kids why they think Jesus was born in a stable instead of a palace. Highlight the moment from Luke 2:7 about Mary placing Him in a manger. This can lead to a discussion on humility and God's choices. Set aside about 30 minutes, providing crayons and markers for a fun, creative time.
