More about these Bible coloring pages

My 9-year-old was amazed when we talked about how Jesus fed so many people with just a few loaves and fish. While coloring the scenes from the feeding the 5000 story, she asked how one boy could make such a difference. This page features six images, including Jesus blessing the food and the hungry crowd receiving the meal. I love how it lets kids visualize the miracle. 'He distributed to those who were seated' (John 6:11) reminds us of Jesus' generosity. We printed the pages last Friday, and they sparked a great discussion about sharing and caring for others. It's a great way to teach kids about the importance of giving and faith!
