More about these Bible coloring pages

Just last Tuesday, we gathered around the table with crayons and these Cain and Abel coloring pages. The kids were excited to color the scene where Cain brings his offering to God. As they colored, I mentioned how God asked Cain, 'Where is your brother Abel?' (Genesis 4:9). It sparked a great discussion about how important it is to care for each other. Each page features moments from their story, like Abel tending sheep and Cain working the fields. I love how these printable pages are great for our preschoolers.
