More about these Bible coloring pages

Last week, my third graders were captivated by the moment when Mary and Joseph found Jesus in the temple. The Jesus At 12 In The Temple coloring page features six images that illustrate this important Bible story. Kids can color scenes of Jesus teaching, listening, and discussing with the elders. As they color, I often remind them that 'They found him in the temple courts' (Luke 2:46), which emphasizes how much Jesus loved being in God's house. It's a great way to connect the story to their own experiences of learning in Sunday school. I keep a printed copy in my binder for class discussions. When we discuss why Jesus was in the temple, it helps them understand His dedication to learning and sharing God's word. We often take a moment to reflect on how we can love God’s house, too. This coloring page not only reinforces the lesson but also gives them a tangible way to remember it.
