About this Bible story

In this story, Balaam's donkey sees an angel and stops, even though Balaam is angry. The donkey can talk, which surprises Balaam! This story is found in Numbers 22:28, where 'Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth.'

Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth.

Numbers 22:28 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While kids color, ask them, 'Why do you think the donkey saw the angel?' Highlight the moment when 'the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth' to show God's miraculous power. Make sure you have crayons or markers ready, and consider a follow-up discussion about listening to God's guidance.

More about these Bible coloring pages

While my kids were finishing lunch, we pulled out our Balaam's Donkey coloring page. They were giggling as they colored the donkey with a speech bubble, saying what it might have felt like to talk to Balaam. My 9-year-old asked why the donkey stopped, and I reminded him that 'Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth' (Numbers 22:28) is a key moment. With 6 fun images to color, kids can learn the story and express their creativity at the same time. These printable pages work great for our Sunday school lessons, and I love how they prompt interesting questions from the kids. Just last week, we had a whole discussion about listening to God! Overall, this coloring activity ties in perfectly with the Bible story and keeps the kids engaged.
