More about these Bible coloring pages
During Friday's art hour, my 4-year-olds were buzzing with excitement as they colored the images from the 'Daniel in the Lions' Den' story. They loved seeing Daniel standing bravely among the lions, and one little girl asked if the lions were scared of him! The pages show the angel that God sent, who 'shut the mouths of the lions' (Daniel 6:22). We had a great time discussing how God kept Daniel safe. I printed out 6 pages for everyone to color. They used bright crayons, and it was wonderful to see them engage with the Bible story through art. This activity not only sparked their curiosity but also helped them remember how God protects us.
