More about these Bible coloring pages

While the kids colored the shepherd David with his sheep, they giggled and shared stories about being brave. They really enjoyed the image of David standing tall, ready to face Goliath. We talked about how David said, 'I come against you in the name of the LORD' (1 Samuel 17:45) before he fought. Each of the six pages offers something special—like David playing music for his sheep or gathering them around. It’s amazing to see how they connect the story to their own lives. On Tuesday, I saw my 4-year-old, Emma, using glitter crayons to color the sheep, and she said, 'I want to be brave like David!' This coloring set is an engaging way to teach our little ones about faith and courage.
