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.
