Mary and Joseph Watch Baby Jesus Sleep

A woman with a long head covering bends her head down over a baby wrapped snugly in cloth, her eyes closed and her face close to the child. Behind her stands a man with curly hair and a full beard, also looking down with a gentle expression. One arm reaches across the bottom of the picture, with the hand open and fingers spread out beneath the bundled baby. The baby's tiny face shows closed eyes, a small nose, and a little mouth. The bold outlines and large open areas make this a good printable for younger kids who are still learning to stay inside the lines. Try soft browns and creams for the wrapped blanket, deeper tones for the hair and beard, and a calm blue or white for the head covering. It also works well for a quiet Christmas Sunday school activity about family and care.
