More About This Activity

Draw – Mary and Joseph Heading to Jerusalem

This printable imagination-drawing worksheet invites children to picture one of the most meaningful journeys in the Bible: Mary and Joseph heading to Jerusalem. With a friendly line drawing of a donkey and a large open space for kids to complete the scene, this activity helps young learners connect visually with the story while expressing their creativity and understanding of faith.

What’s Inside

This worksheet includes:

• A simple prompt: “Draw Mary and Joseph heading to Jerusalem.”

• A line-art image of a donkey, ready for children to imagine who and what else belongs in the scene.

• A large blank drawing area that encourages freedom and storytelling.

• Clean, printable design perfect for classrooms, Sunday school, or home use.

Why It’s Useful

• Connects art and Bible learning: Kids can visualise the story of Mary and Joseph travelling together, reflecting on faith, obedience, and purpose.

• Encourages imagination: There’s no single “right” answer—children can design the background, clothing, scenery, and expressions.

• Perfect for reflection or discussion: Great for Advent or Easter lessons focusing on journeys of faith.

• Simple and low-prep: Just print, hand out, and let creativity unfold.

How to Use It

1. Read the story together — from Luke 2 or Matthew, depending on your focus, explaining who Mary and Joseph were and why they travelled.

2. Discuss details — What might they have carried? What did the road to Jerusalem look like? Who might they have met?

3. Distribute the worksheet and art supplies.

4. Encourage drawing — Children can add:

   • Mary and Joseph walking beside the donkey.

   • Background scenery (trees, hills, stars, the city in the distance).

   • Emotion: perhaps Mary and Joseph are tired but hopeful.

5. Share reflections — Ask, “How do you think they felt on their journey?” or “What might they have talked about?”

6. Display the artwork on a bulletin board or classroom wall as part of your Bible story theme.

This “Draw – Mary and Joseph Heading to Jerusalem” worksheet helps children explore one of the most memorable Bible journeys in a personal and imaginative way. It’s simple, engaging, and perfect for sparking conversation about faith and perseverance.
