Mary and Joseph in the Stable Coloring Page

There was no room in the inn, so Mary and Joseph have found shelter in a stable. Mary rests on the straw after the long journey, and Mila the mouse carries her little bundle away from the door to make more room for the guests.

“…because there was no room for them in the inn.”

Luke 2:7, simplified

5-minute idea: Ask: Mila gave up a bit of her cozy corner. Where could you make room for someone this week, at the table, in a game, on the couch? Children draw one more thing Mila could share in the empty space.

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.
