These 6 child-friendly coloring pages use friendly cartoon artwork, clear outlines and open spaces for crayons.

Keep the Bible and the illustrations distinct
Matthew does not give the number or names of the wise men and does not call them kings. Three figures represent the group in these illustrations; the three gifts do not establish their number. They visit a house and see the young child with Mary, not a manger scene. Travel animals and clothing details are artistic choices. Clothing, facial features and background details are artistic interpretations. The images are original AI-assisted illustrations reviewed for this collection.
A simple activity for parents and teachers
Trace the journey with a finger, name the three gifts and discuss why the visitors did not return to Herod. Let children choose their colors and talk at their own pace. A question such as “What do you notice?” can be more useful than asking them to guess a particular answer. Older children can find the passage in a Bible while younger children listen to an adult read.
