Nativity Scene Coloring Pages

Twelve line drawings from the pages of this site: the Nativity under the star, the angel, the shepherd and his sheep, the donkey and the ox, the Wise Men, and the Provençal village with its mill, its well and its ravi (the villager with his arms raised in wonder). Print them on regular paper (US Letter or A4, “fit to page”), one drawing per sheet.

Each picture below opens a PDF that’s ready to print. The lines are thick and the spaces are big: they’re made for markers and five-year-old hands, not fine colored pencils. The drawings are also a great way to start a conversation: while a child colors the stable, you can tell them where the nativity comes from, or explain who each figure is. More ideas, by age, in explaining the nativity scene to children.
