Baby Jesus in the Manger Coloring Pages

Four free coloring pages of baby Jesus in the manger: the stable in Bethlehem with Jesus asleep in the hay while a cow, a donkey and two sheep look on; a large, simple manger under a bright star; Jesus asleep in the hay under the stable roof; and Mary holding the baby while Joseph stands beside them with his staff.

The simple manger has big shapes for toddlers and preschoolers. The stable with the animals and the page with Mary and Joseph have more to color for older children. Each sheet prints on one US-letter page, or tap Color it online to color it on a phone or tablet.

They go well with reading the Christmas story in Luke 2, where Mary "wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger" (Luke 2:7). They're also good for Sunday school and children's church in December.

Coloring ideas: golden yellow hay, brown wood for the stable, and blue for Mary's robe. Outline the star in yellow and leave its middle white so it shines.
