More about these Bible coloring pages

During last week's class, my third graders were excited to learn about Peter's miraculous escape from prison. The 'angel of the Lord appeared' (Acts 12:7) at just the right moment, and I could see their eyes widen as I described it. These pages capture that moment beautifully. Each image highlights Peter, the guards, and the angel, making it easy for kids to engage with the story. We used crayons and colored pencils last Friday, and the kids loved adding their own touches to the characters. I keep a printed copy in my lesson binder for future classes—it's a great reminder of how God protects us. This is a wonderful way to reinforce the lesson while they color.
