More about these Bible coloring pages

While my 9-year-old worked on her Lydia coloring page last Saturday, she asked why Lydia was such an important figure in the Bible. I told her about how Lydia's heart was opened by God, as it says in Acts 16:14, 'The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.' This led to a rich discussion about hospitality and faith. The images in this lydia coloring page for kids include Lydia with Paul, her shop, and even the baptism scene. Each page is an opportunity to teach kids about Lydia's welcoming spirit. I printed this for our Sunday school class, and the kids loved bringing the story to life with their crayons. It was a wonderful way to connect art with learning!
