About this Bible story
Daniel faced a tough choice, but he trusted God. When he was thrown into the lions' den, he didn't panic. Instead, he prayed, and 'My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions.' (Daniel 6:22) Daniel was safe because of his faith.
“My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions.”

As the kids color, ask them, 'How do you think Daniel felt when he was with the lions?' Highlight the moment when God sent an angel to protect Daniel. For supplies, keep extra crayons on hand and consider a follow-up activity where they draw their favorite part of the story.

More about these Bible coloring pages
One sunny Thursday, I watched my 5-year-olds dive into the Daniel in the Lions' Den coloring pages. They were so excited to color Daniel and the lions. As they worked, I reminded them how 'My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions.' (Daniel 6:22). It's incredible to see how they grasp the story! We talked about how brave Daniel was and how God protected him. The kids especially loved the image of Daniel praying with the lions around him. During our craft time, we used bright colored crayons and markers, filling the pages with vibrant colors. The energy in the room was contagious, and I could see they were learning about faith while having fun. This coloring activity fits perfectly into our circle time and encourages meaningful discussions.
