Nativity coloring pages

Nine sheets that together make a whole scene. Mary and Joseph kneel by the manger under an open wooden shelter, an ox and a donkey lean in over the crib, three wise men walk in single file behind a long-rayed star, a young shepherd stands with three woolly sheep, an angel hovers above the roof, a camel carries a gift, and two shepherds arrive with a lamb and a basket.

The plain manger under its star and the camel are simple shapes for the youngest. The stable with the holy family and the wise men have robes and drapery that reward a longer sitting. Colour the figures, glue them to card and cut them out, and the nine sheets stand up together as a paper nativity under the tree.
