The pages cover every stage of the story. Kids can color the kings crossing a peaceful oasis, a splendid parade through a town, or a king and his young page walking side by side. Animal lovers will enjoy a crowned camel head and a camel loaded with gifts, while others may prefer the glowing lantern and star. The most touching pages show the kings offering gold, frankincense and myrrh to Jesus, or a king handing a present to a child. Clean outlines and a good balance of large and small areas keep each scene fun and rewarding for different ages.
Tips for printing and coloring
Print on standard letter-size paper for everyday coloring, or choose thicker cardstock if you plan to use markers or watercolor. Younger children aged 3 to 5 will do well with chunky crayons on the big shapes, like camels and robes. Older kids can add detail with colored pencils, gel pens or a touch of glitter on the crowns and gifts. Try a dark blue night sky and a bright yellow star for a dramatic effect. Once finished, cut the pages out and display them as a Nativity frieze or turn them into Epiphany cards.

Coloring ideas for three wise men
Give each king a different rich robe: deep purple, royal red, emerald green or turquoise. Use gold or yellow for crowns, gifts and the star, and try metallic pens for extra sparkle. Color camels in warm sand, caramel and brown tones. For the sky, blend dark blue and violet, leaving the star bright and white. Soft oranges and pinks work well for desert dunes at sunset.
