More about these Bible coloring pages
One afternoon, my son Jacob, who’s 6, sat at the kitchen table with crayons scattered everywhere. He was focused on the Peter Keys coloring page and asked, 'What do the keys mean?' I explained how Jesus told Peter, 'I will give you the keys of the kingdom' (Matthew 16:19), and that it symbolizes his leadership. This led to a conversation about how we can all lead in our own ways. The page includes six images that show Peter's journey, making it easy for kids to connect with the story. It's a wonderful resource for Sunday school classes or homeschool activities. I love that it’s a free printable, so I can make copies for everyone in our group.
