More about these Bible coloring pages
When my 5-year-olds dove into this coloring activity, they were completely fascinated by Daniel's bravery. They colored the scene where Daniel sits among the lions, and we talked about how 'My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions' (Daniel 6:22). With each stroke of their crayons, I could see their little imaginations working. One little girl pointed out how brave Daniel was while another asked if the lions were scary. We also had fun adding colors to the angel in the picture! This free printable is great for circle time or at home, giving kids a chance to learn while creating. Each of the 6 images offers a different moment from the story, making it easy to connect with the lesson.
