More about these Bible coloring pages

The phrase 'Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men' (Matthew 4:19) is central to this beautiful story. Each image highlights different moments from the Calling the Disciples story, such as Jesus speaking to Simon Peter and Andrew. I remember last Friday when my 4-year-olds gathered around the table with their crayons, eager to color. They giggled while discussing how Jesus chose His friends. These pages are a wonderful way to connect the lesson with hands-on fun. With six printable images, they can color while I read more from the Bible, making it a perfect addition to our morning routine.
