More about these Bible coloring pages

My son, Thomas, grabbed his favorite colored pencils on Friday afternoon and dove into the Jesus flips tables coloring page. He was so intrigued by the story that he asked me why Jesus was so upset. I explained how Jesus 'overturned the tables of the money changers' (Matthew 21:12) to protect the temple. It was a great way to discuss the importance of treating God's house with respect. This coloring page features six different images that highlight key moments from the story, including Jesus' actions and the shocked expressions of the people around Him. Coloring while chatting about the story really helped solidify the lesson for Thomas, who’s 7, and he proudly displayed his work on our fridge afterward. The printable is perfect for Sunday school lessons or an engaging activity at home.
