More about these Bible coloring pages

One of my favorite moments from the David and Goliath story is when David chooses his five stones. This coloring page beautifully captures that moment, showing David's courage and faith before facing Goliath. I often use this in my Sunday school class to remind kids of how God equips us for challenges. The kids can color while discussing how David stood up to a giant, especially when he declares, 'I come against you in the name of the LORD' (1 Samuel 17:45). My third graders particularly enjoy the scene where David confidently picks the stones from the brook. We usually spend about 30 minutes on this activity, which includes coloring and sharing insights about the story. It’s a great way for them to engage creatively!
