In this picture

A woman in a head covering and a bearded man in a headband kneel with hands pressed together, looking down at a baby asleep in a manger of hay. A lamb stands at left, and a big star hangs above.

Can you find?

  • the big star
  • the sleeping baby
  • hay in the manger
  • a smiling lamb
  • a man's beard
  • hands pressed together

Coloring ideas

  • Color the hay in short strokes that follow its pointed blades, mixing two yellows and a tan, so it looks like a soft bed around the baby.
  • Shade the empty sky around the star dark and leave the star itself light, so it seems to glow over the quiet scene.

Talk about it

  • Trace the star with your finger and count its points together, then whisper goodnight to the sleeping baby.
  • Find the lamb with the curly wool and tell what quiet sound it might make.
