About this coloring page
Joseph rests a hand on his workbench, Mary carries folded cloth in a basket, and young Jesus holds a small carved bird between them. Saws, a mallet, wood pieces, lilies, and a clay jar make the Nazareth workshop feel used. The coloring page of the Holy Family shows ordinary family work rather than a formal portrait.
Wood browns will cover the bench and tools quickly, so vary the robes with blue, red, green, or gold. Keep the carved bird pale enough to remain visible against Jesus's tunic. Colored pencils suit the grain marks and flower centers, while crayons handle the large clothing shapes and stone walls.
Use the printable PDF for the Feast of the Holy Family, a lesson about family life, or a quiet parish activity. Ask children what job each person appears to be doing and how families help one another at home. They can draw one of their own household tasks on the back.
