About this Bible story
In Bethlehem, Mary gave birth to Jesus and laid him in a manger. Luke 2:7 tells us, 'She placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room.' This story is a beautiful reminder of how humble beginnings can lead to great things.
“She placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room.”
How to Use These Coloring Pages
While coloring, ask your students why they think God chose a stable for Jesus' birth. Highlight how this humble setting shows His love for everyone. You’ll need crayons and a quiet space for this activity, which can last about 30 minutes. Follow up with a discussion about the importance of Jesus' birth.

More about these coloring pages
Reading Luke 2:7 always brings a hush to my classroom. As I remind my students how Mary 'placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room,' they can almost visualize the scene. I often bring in a small manger to show them, which helps connect the story to the coloring page. The six images in this stable Bethlehem coloring page depict moments like the angel’s announcement and the shepherds arriving, which my students love to color. Last week, my third graders spent a cozy afternoon working on these pages, and their creativity shone through. They used bright colors to fill in the starry sky and the animals, making each image a unique piece of art. It’s a fantastic way to encourage them to think about the significance of Jesus’ birth.
