More about these Bible coloring pages
The moment my son picked up his crayons, he was drawn to the image of Daniel standing boldly in the den with the lions. His excitement was contagious! As he colored, he asked questions about why Daniel was thrown into the den and how God protected him. 'My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions' (Daniel 6:22) became part of our conversation. With 6 printable images, kids can express their creativity while learning about Daniel’s faith. We used crayons and markers to bring the scenes to life, and his little sister joined in too, happily scribbling next to him. It’s a great way to reinforce the lesson of trusting God, especially during our Sunday school class. The kids really engage with the story when they see it come alive on the page.
