Christmas Bible Verse Coloring Pages for Kids: The Luke 2 Story in 20 Colorable Verses

Christmas Bible verse coloring pages for kids that tell the Luke 2 story give you 20 verses in one printable PDF: each page prints the full verse at the top, with a big, cozy Christmas scene to color underneath and Cozy the collie pup in every picture. They are made for crayons, Advent, homeschool mornings, and Sunday school classes.

What verses are in the Christmas coloring book?

The pages follow the Christmas story in order — the promises first, then Bethlehem, the angels, the shepherds, and the wise men. All 20 verses are printed in full at the top of each page so kids read the verse while they color it:

• Luke 2:7 — laid in a feeding trough
• Matthew 1:21 — he will save his people
• Luke 2:10 — good news of great joy
• Luke 2:11 — a Savior, who is Christ the Lord
• Luke 2:14 — glory to God in the highest
• Matthew 2:2 — we have seen his star
• Matthew 2:10 — they rejoiced with great joy
• Isaiah 9:6 — for unto us a child is born
• Isaiah 7:14 — Immanuel, God with us
• Micah 5:2 — Bethlehem, small but chosen
• John 1:14 — the Word became flesh
• John 3:16 — God so loved the world
• Galatians 4:4 — in the fullness of time
• James 1:17 — every good gift is from above
• Philippians 4:4 — rejoice in the Lord always
• Psalm 96:12 — let the field exult
• Psalm 98:4 — make a joyful noise
• 1 John 4:9 — God sent his only Son
• 2 Corinthians 9:15 — thanks be to God for his indescribable gift
• Romans 15:13 — the God of hope fill you with joy

Start with these two, and read them aloud together first: “She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.” — Luke 2:7, World English Bible. And: “For there is born to you today, in David's city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” — Luke 2:11, World English Bible.

What does each page look like?

Each page uses the same friendly layout: the full verse at the top, the reference under it, and one big Christmas scene underneath. The scenes include the manger in the stable, the journey to Bethlehem, angels over the shepherds' hill, wise men and camels under the star, a snowy Bethlehem street, carolers with a lantern, and a tree full of presents. Cozy the collie pup is in every scene, small and quiet in the nativity pages and happily singing along with the carolers. The shapes are large and plain, with no tiny details or texture hatching, so younger kids can actually finish a page and older kids can add their own patterns.

What age are these Christmas coloring pages best for?

They are designed for roughly ages 4 to 10. The large, open shapes suit preschoolers and early elementary kids with crayons or chunky markers, and the full verse text gives older kids, and Sunday school classes, the actual Christmas story to read, copy, or memorize while they color. One page a day works beautifully as a simple Advent countdown through the story.

How can I use them for Advent, homeschool, or Sunday school?

There are three easy ways. First, use one page a day in December: read the verse, color, and let the story build toward Christmas morning. Second, use a page as a Sunday school or co-op activity while the Luke 2 passage is read aloud. Third, turn finished pages into decorations — a nativity garland across the mantel, or a colored page tucked into a Christmas card to grandparents. Because the book is a printable PDF, you can reprint a favorite verse every year.

From Brittany: “Our family loves coloring together, especially during the holidays! I love to do puzzles - but when my kids get burnt out on looking for puzzle pieces, they switch to coloring as a relaxing thing to do while still visiting at the table as a family.”

Which translation should I choose, WEB or KJV?

Both editions have the same scenes and the same 20 verses. Only the verse wording changes. The WEB edition is modern English, which is easier for young readers. The KJV edition is the classic wording many families memorize. Pick the translation your family already reads. The main shop link on this page goes to the WEB edition of Christmas Coloring Book with Cozy Collie, and the KJV edition is a separate listing in the same shop. One note: in the WEB edition, Psalm 98:4 is quoted from the KJV, because the WEB text of that verse contains a name for God that is quoted from the KJV instead — that swap is disclosed on the book's title page.

FAQ

Are these Christmas coloring pages really printable at home?

Yes. The book is a 22-page Letter-size PDF, with a cover, a title page, and 20 verse pages. You download it and print it on a home printer, as many copies as your own family or class needs.

Is there a verse on every page, or just a reference?

The full verse text is printed at the top of every page, with the reference under it. Kids read the actual words of the Christmas story while they color, not just a citation.

Can I use these in my Sunday school class or co-op?

Yes, they are made for that. Print copies for your own classroom use.

Who makes these coloring pages?

Cozy Collie is created by Brittany, a homeschool mom of three in Iowa. Her rough collie Cozy appears in every scene, and you can find the shop as @cozycollieshop on Etsy, Pinterest, and Facebook.
