More about these coloring pages

My 2-year-old, Lily, was so excited to color the Star of Bethlehem! We sat at the kitchen table with crayons scattered everywhere. Each page shows something fun – wise men, a shining star, and even baby Jesus. The best part was when she pointed to the star and said, 'Look, Mommy, it’s bright!' In Matthew 2:9, it says, 'The star they had seen went ahead of them.' It’s such a sweet reminder of how God guides us. Coloring these pages can be a wonderful way to share the Christmas story with little ones. After our coloring session, we even had a snack break with some cookies!
