About this Luke 2 coloring page
This free printable coloring page illustrates baby jesus lies in the manger from Luke 2. Mary and Joseph kneel beside baby Jesus in the manger while shepherds arrive and a bright star shines above. The sheet prints at full letter size and the line art is drawn with wide open areas, so younger children can colour it with crayons while an adult reads the chapter aloud.
The memory verse printed at the bottom is Luke 2:11 — “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.” A second version without the verse banner is available above if you would rather keep the whole sheet blank for colouring, or add your own caption.
Use it for Sunday school, midweek kids’ club, homeschool Bible time, or a family devotional at the kitchen table. It pairs with our Luke 2 kids study guide and the full Luke 2 study guide for grown-ups. You can also read Luke 2 before you start colouring.
