More about these Bible coloring pages

When my class colored the Mary Magdalene pages last week, they were so engaged. The images capture her joy upon seeing Jesus again, like when He calls her name, 'Mary.' (John 20:16). I had printed them out in advance, and the kids eagerly used their crayons to bring each scene to life. One of my 8-year-old students asked about her importance in the Bible, which opened up a great discussion about her role as a witness to the resurrection. As they colored, I could see their understanding grow. These pages help highlight how Jesus valued women in His ministry. With each stroke of their crayons, they learned about faith and love. I recommend having a few extra copies ready for any visitors who join us next week.
