While coloring last Friday, my 6-year-old pointed out the beautiful star shining brightly in the Star of Bethlehem pages. We talked about how the wise men followed this star to find Jesus. In Matthew 2:9, it says, 'The star they had seen went ahead of them.' My kids love coloring the images of the wise men, the shining star, and the manger scene. Each page brings the story to life!
