More about these Bible coloring pages

During circle time last week, we spent a wonderful morning coloring our Daniel in the Lions' Den Daniel Praying Window pages. My 4-year-olds were especially curious about Daniel's bravery as he prayed. When I read, 'My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions.' (Daniel 6:22), their eyes widened! We talked about how Daniel didn't give up on God, even when things got tough. Each of the six pages shows different moments from the story, including Daniel praying and the lions watching him with curiosity. I love how coloring these pages encourages conversations about faith. As they colored, I encouraged them to think about the power of prayer and trusting God.
