Celebrate the birth of Jesus this Christmas! These free printable Christian Christmas coloring pages will be great for an afternoon fun or family activity. We love how they can get all creative on a rainy day while learning more about the amazing story behind Christmas.
Grab some crayons or colored pencils and take time out together. You could start by letting your little ones pick one to color first. They might even want to do more than just one page—that’s okay too!
These include beautiful pictures such as Mary cuddling baby Jesus, wise men under a star, angels playing trumpets, families going to church, neighbors sharing food, etc. There are so many wonderful images showing giving, which would be perfect when discussing kindness over the Christmas season.

4 Creative Ways To Use Christian Christmas Coloring Pages
After they’re done, your kids will be able to keep these little reminders of their Christmastime art on display, using materials that you may already own. Here are some Christian Christmas crafts for kids to try this year!
1. Nativity Puppet Theater
Coloring a Nativity scene would be great to do while you are doing this Christmas story activity with your kids! Once they’ve colored the nativity, they can use scissors to cut the people out and glue them on the craft sticks.
Once everyone has been glued on, a small cardboard box works well as a stage for their little puppet show where they will tell the birth of Jesus all over again. They could also bring in their own “visitors” if they want.
2. Christmas Tree Keepsakes
Pick out one of our printables to use as a star, cross, or Nativity ornament. Color them, then glue the paper onto a piece of thin cardboard and cut along the outside edge. Add a ribbon loop and write your child’s name and the year on the back. Then hang it up! Those extra details will be nice surprises when you unpack all your decorations next Christmas!
3. Cards for Someone You Love
You can fold the cardstock and glue on a smaller picture of the carol singers or welcoming church (leaving room to include a handwritten Christmas greeting). You can let your kids pick out who gets what, too—writing something personal to each recipient makes your time together extra special!
4. Advent Reading Bookmarks
The dove with stars printable would be great on a bookmark that you can read along with your family from the Bible. Just attach the colored picture to some sturdy cardstock, cut into a thin rectangle shape, put a hole at the very top and make a cute piece of yarn going through.
Then your kids will be able to put it to the side while they go off to their next Bible reading!
You can enjoy seeing those coming alive with these Christian Christmas coloring pages ideas!
