This collection has 20 free nativity scene coloring pages: twelve of the stable and the manger, three with the wise men and shepherds, three close-ups of single figures, and two built around the star — one of them drawn as stained glass. Every page is black and white on US Letter, downloads as a free PDF, and needs no signup.
If you are printing these for a Sunday school class or an Advent countdown rather than for one child, the useful thing is that the set covers the story in stages: the journey, the stable at night under the star, the animals gathered round, the shepherds arriving, the wise men with their gifts, and the manger on its own. Print six or seven in order and the pages tell it without anyone needing to read.
What’s in this collection
Twelve stable scenes, three with wise men and shepherds, three close-ups and two star pages — 20 in total, in the grid below. Each has its own Download PDF and Print button, so you can take one page instead of the whole set.
The stable and the manger
Twelve pages centre on the scene itself: the family under a timber roof with the star above, animals crowded at the rail — an ox, a donkey, sheep, a camel — the manger set in straw, a night sky full of stars behind. Some are drawn simply with round faces for young children; others carry proper drapery folds and beams. Both kinds are here, so it is worth looking at the grid before printing a class set.
Wise men, shepherds and the close-ups
Three pages bring the visitors: three crowned figures carrying gifts past palm trees, a shepherd with his crook and a lamb, a kneeling figure setting a gift down. Three more crop in tight — a man holding the child, a family group close together, and the manger on its own with the baby asleep in the straw. That last one is the simplest page in the collection and the right one for a three-year-old.
Two star pages
Two sheets make the star the subject. One shows a small stable far below a sky filled with stars, the whole top of the page open. The other is drawn as stained glass — the scene broken into angular panels with a great star radiating across them — and it is the page that looks best taped to a window with the light behind it.
How to print these
Every page is US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), pure black and white, with the drawing inside the printable margin. Plain copy paper is fine; choose “Fit to page” if your printer asks. Print the stained-glass page on thinner paper if it is going in a window — the light comes through and the panels read from outside.
FAQ
Which page suits a very young child?
The manger on its own, with the baby in the straw and nothing else on the sheet. After that, the simpler stable scenes with round faces.
Are the wise men and shepherds included?
Yes, across three pages — three crowned figures with gifts, and a shepherd with his crook and a lamb.
Is there a page for a window?
One, drawn as stained glass with the scene divided into angular panels beneath a large star.
Can I print these for a church group or Sunday school?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need for your home, class or church group. Re-selling or re-uploading the files elsewhere is the only thing not allowed.
For more of the season, the seasonal collection holds the rest of the year, and the Noah’s Ark coloring pages tell another story in the same order-of-events way.
