Nativity Coloring Pages
I suggest printing these preschool coloring pages on regular printer paper for kids to complete. You can bind them together to make a coloring book, or you can work through them one at a time.
There are twelve different print-and-go worksheets included in this coloring pack. These nativity coloring pages include twelve images with traceable words at the bottom of each page.
Images include baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph, stable, angel, kings, shepherd, and more. Once the kids color each page, you can slip them in a dry erase pouch. Then, kids can trace the words over and over again with a dry erase marker.

Love the Nativity printables!
I’m so glad you love them—enjoy bringing the Nativity story to life! 😊
These coloring sheets are very cute and exactly what I was looking for but after 30 minutes trying to download and print them. I have to give up the page is always blank. 😞
Often that means you need to update your PDF reader.
