More about these coloring pages

My daughter, who's 7, spent a rainy afternoon last week coloring this Three Wise Men Magi Following Star page. She was thrilled to see the star shining brightly above the wise men, and it sparked a conversation about their long journey. I love how the page shows them with their gifts, which reminds us of when 'they bowed down and worshiped him.' (Matthew 2:11). We used crayons and markers from our craft drawer, and it turned into a fun discussion about why the wise men traveled so far. It’s amazing how coloring can lead to deeper understanding. The kids were so engaged that they asked to share what they learned during our next family Bible study.
