About this Bible story
In the story of Daniel in the Lions' Den, Daniel's faith kept him safe from harm. King Darius had decreed that anyone who prayed to anyone but him would be thrown into the lions' den. Daniel prayed anyway, and God protected him. This is beautifully illustrated in this coloring page.
“My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions.”

More about these Bible coloring pages
In this coloring page, children can visualize the moment Daniel is thrown into the lions' den, and the angel of the Lord comes to protect him. As my third graders color, they often discuss how Daniel remained faithful despite the king's decree. The page creatively captures Daniel's courage and God's miraculous intervention; 'My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions' (Daniel 6:22) is a comforting lesson for them. During last week's class, my students particularly loved coloring the image of the lions, showing both their strength and the peace of God. These moments in class really stick with them. Using this page, I encourage them to talk about times they've had to be brave, relating it back to Daniel's unwavering faith. I keep a few copies in my Sunday school binder for spontaneous lessons. Whether they use crayons or colored pencils, the details in this story come alive as they color, reinforcing the lesson about trust in God.
