More about these Bible coloring pages

Last week, my third graders were thrilled as we colored the Matthew Evangelist pages together. The illustrations capture Matthew's moment at the tax collector's booth beautifully. As they colored, I reminded them how 'He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth' (Matthew 9:9). The kids were particularly drawn to the image of Jesus reaching out to Matthew, which sparked great conversations about acceptance and following God's path. These pages are not just fun; they help reinforce the lesson about how everyone is welcome in Jesus' love. I keep a printed copy in my Sunday school binder, and it never fails to engage the kids, allowing them to express their creativity while learning about Matthew's story.
