The Birth of Jesus Coloring Pages for Kids

The Birth of Jesus introduces children to the Christmas story — from Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem, to the shepherds watching their flocks by night, to the Wise Men following the star to find the newborn King. Each page follows one part of the story, so children can take it in scene by scene, at their own pace.

The book also includes simple mazes and drawing challenges to keep young hands busy while they learn, and it closes with a short, child-friendly prayer. It's a good fit for family time, Sunday school, and homeschool Bible lessons for children ages 3–8.

Inside the Story

Mary and Joseph traveled all the way to Bethlehem for a census, and when they arrived, there was no room for them at the inn. Jesus was born in a humble stable and placed in a manger — the first bed for the Son of God.

Out in the fields nearby, shepherds were watching their sheep when an angel suddenly appeared and told them the good news: a Savior had been born. The shepherds hurried into town and found everything just as the angel had said.

Far away, wise men saw a special star and followed it on a long journey, knowing it would lead them to a newborn king. When they finally found Jesus, they knelt down and worshiped Him, offering precious gifts fit for a king.
