More about these Bible coloring pages
During circle time last Friday, I watched as my 4-year-olds excitedly colored scenes from the feeding the 5000 story. They giggled while adding color to the baskets full of bread. One little girl asked, 'How did Jesus do that?' It’s a great opportunity to talk about His miracles. In John 6:11, 'He distributed to those who were seated.' This coloring page has six images, including Jesus, the loaves, and the fish. It sparked wonderful conversations about sharing and caring. We even had a snack of bread afterward, connecting the story to our lives. It's a joy to see how engaged they are with these free printable pages!
