More about these Bible coloring pages

Last week, my 9-year-old was so excited to color the 'Feeding the 5000 disciples distributing food' pages. It sparked a great chat about how Jesus cared for everyone. I still remember the moment when she pointed out the baskets filled with bread and fish—'He distributed to those who were seated' (John 6:11). We also added stickers to our pages, which made it even more fun! The six images show different aspects of the story, like the disciples handing out food and the crowd enjoying their meal. These coloring pages are a great way to reinforce the lesson of sharing. I used them during our Wednesday afternoon craft time, and the kids loved talking about how they could help others, just like Jesus. Plus, the vibrant crayons and markers brought the scenes to life. It's such a joy to see them actively learn about the Bible while creating their own beautiful artwork!
