Baby Jesus in the Manger Coloring Page
Mary leans over the manger where baby Jesus sleeps, snugly wrapped in cloths. Pip the little dove has landed quietly on the edge of the manger. Big, simple shapes: this is the easiest page in the set, perfect for the youngest children.
“She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”
Luke 2:7, simplified
5-minute idea: Hum a quiet lullaby while the children color. Then ask: what keeps a baby warm and safe? Who kept baby Jesus warm that night?

A note about our story friends
Mila, Benny, Caramel, and Pip are make-believe animals. The Bible does not mention them; they help young children imagine the events and remember the lesson. The Bible verse on each page is simplified for young listeners, so feel free to use your church’s preferred translation.
