More about these Bible coloring pages

Last Friday, I brought out the James the Less coloring pages for my class, and the kids were excited. Each child picked a page, which shows different moments from James' life as a disciple. One of my favorite scenes features James listening to Jesus, reminding us of the Bible verse: 'If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God' (James 1:5). It's a simple yet profound message for kids to grasp. As they colored, I noticed my 8-year-old, Emily, carefully choosing her crayons to match the robes of Jesus and James. Discussions about discipleship flowed naturally while they worked, making it a meaningful experience. These pages are an easy way to tie in the lesson about seeking wisdom from God, making it memorable for my students.
