More about these Bible coloring pages
While my kids were coloring last Friday, my 10-year-old pointed out how brave Daniel was for trusting God. The pages feature six images that capture the tension of Daniel in the lions' den. One shows the fierce lions, while another highlights King Darius, who realized his mistake. As Daniel said, 'My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions' (Daniel 6:22). We talked about how faith can protect us in tough situations. The coloring pages sparked a wonderful discussion about trusting God even when things seem scary. I suggested we use these pages during our next family Bible study, where the kids can color while I read the story. It’s a great way to keep them engaged while learning about Daniel's faith.
