More about these Bible coloring pages

Last week, my preschoolers were buzzing with excitement as we colored the Jesus and Disciples pages. One little girl, Emily, said she loved how the disciples looked happy while listening to Jesus. The images feature key moments, like Jesus teaching on a hillside and sharing meals with His disciples. In the classroom, the quote 'And surely I am with you always' (Matthew 28:20) reminded us that Jesus is always with us, even when we’re coloring! We colored while discussing what it means to follow Jesus and how He cares for us. These pages are easy to handle and perfect for little hands. After coloring, we even had a snack time where we talked about how we can be kind like Jesus. I printed these pages from a PDF, which made it simple to prepare for our lesson.
