For parents who want to teach their children about the Nativity story during Christmas, setting up a nativity scene (also known as a creche) can be a wonderful and engaging way. The nativity scene includes Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, shepherds, and three Wise Men along with animals such as sheep and donkeys. It is a great activity for the whole family, and it can be set up on any table you choose.
These coloring pages of a nativity scene are perfect for keeping your kids busy while you read the story or spend time together as a family during the holidays. You can print them out and color with crayons, markers, or even use your favorite coloring app. Older kids might enjoy using shading and color blending techniques when coloring these pictures.
This first nativity coloring page features a lovely drawing of Mary and Joseph with their new-born baby. In the background, you can see a stable and a starry sky. The illustration has been drawn in a highly detailed style, so it should provide lots of coloring fun for kids.
This next picture shows the Nativity scene from the perspective of a shepherd. He is looking up in awe at the bright star that signals the birth of the Savior. He is then greeted by an angel who shares the good news with him. Kids will enjoy coloring this nativity scene and imagining what it must have been like on the night of Jesus’ birth.
