More about these Bible coloring pages

The kids loved hearing about how the people welcomed Jesus with palms and shouts of joy. As they colored the triumphal entry coloring page for preschool, they giggled over the donkey and the crowd waving palm branches. 'Hosanna in the highest!' (Matthew 21:9) was a phrase we repeated together, and it made them smile. I saw my 4-year-old, Lily, focus so hard on coloring her page with bright green crayons, ready to show it to her mom after class. These pages not only help reinforce the story, but they also give the kids a chance to express their creativity. I usually set aside time before snack for them to work on their coloring. With 6 different images, there’s something for every child’s interest, and it sparks great conversations about Jesus and His love for us. Kids can also take their artwork home to share the story with their families.
