More about these coloring pages

Last Wednesday, my 2-year-old grabbed some chunky crayons and started coloring. The stable Bethlehem coloring page for toddlers has adorable images of Mary, the manger, and even some animals! As she colored, I reminded her how 'She placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room' (Luke 2:7). These moments are wonderful for reinforcing the Christmas story. Later, we talked about how special baby Jesus is. I plan to hang her finished page on the fridge. It’s a great way to celebrate the season with little ones and share the story of Jesus' birth.
