A shepherd guards a flock of sheep and leads it to grass and water. If the Christmas story is part of your family's tradition, read the part where angels tell shepherds near Bethlehem about baby Jesus.

In this picture

Two smiling shepherds in headbands, each holding a tall curved staff, look up at a big star with rays. Four fluffy sheep gather near their feet, small houses sit on the hill behind, and four little stars dot the sky.

Can you find?

  • the big star with rays
  • two tall curved staffs
  • four fluffy sheep
  • four little stars
  • the houses on the hill
  • sandals

Coloring ideas

  • Press hard with a light color around the big star's rays and lighter farther away, so the glow seems to fade into the empty sky.
  • Color the two long robes in different earthy shades, and give each staff a wood-brown stripe that follows its curve.

Talk about it

  • Count the sheep twice, once left to right and once top to bottom, and check that you land on the same number.
  • Everyone in the picture looks up at the same thing: what would you tell a friend about it?
