More about these Bible coloring pages

During our Wednesday morning circle time, I set out the Jesus tempted in the wilderness coloring pages for the kids. They giggled as they colored Jesus surrounded by the wilderness and the stones. I reminded them about how 'Man shall not live on bread alone' (Matthew 4:4) and how Jesus stood strong. Each page has fun scenes that help illustrate this important Bible story. My 4-year-olds loved adding colors to the stones and the trees, and we talked about trusting God like Jesus did. This activity is a wonderful way to teach them about resisting temptation while they express their creativity. I also used crayons and markers to keep the mess contained during our art time, which worked out great!
