Detailed designs

Questions about nativity coloring pages
Is there a nativity coloring page I can cut out and stand up?
Yes. The paper nativity figures sheet draws Mary, Joseph, the manger, a shepherd, a sheep, a donkey, an angel and robed figures carrying gifts as separate pieces with fold tabs at the base, ready to color, cut out and stand in a row.
Which nativity pages show the wise men or their gifts?
The wise men's camels rest with decorated saddles beside an oasis pool and palm trees under a starry sky, and the gifts appear as a still life of a jeweled chest of gold coins, a censer with incense smoke and a tall decorated jar.

Are there nativity pages set outdoors or at night?
An outdoor wooden nativity stands in the snow in front of a village church with lanterns, Bethlehem's flat-roofed houses and palm trees sit under a bright star at night, and a choir of angels sings in the sky above the rooftops.
