More about these Bible coloring pages

When we gathered for circle time on Wednesday, my 5-year-olds were buzzing with excitement about coloring Mary Magdalene. One child pointed at the picture of her joyful reunion with Jesus and asked, 'Why did He call her name?' I reminded them how special it was that Jesus knew her. We even colored the page where she went to the tomb. They loved the moment when Jesus called out, 'Mary.' (John 20:16). These images include Mary at the tomb, her encounter with Jesus, and other scenes from her life. I printed these coloring pages for our lesson last week, and they were a hit! The kids enjoyed using bright crayons and markers, transforming each page into their own artwork. It was heartwarming to see them engaged while learning about Mary Magdalene's important role in the Bible. Each page can be a great conversation starter, sparking curiosity about Jesus and His love for them.
