More about these Bible coloring pages

While my preschoolers colored the David and Goliath David Throwing Sling pages, I noticed their little hands carefully selecting colors for David's sling. The moment when David said, 'I come against you in the name of the LORD.' (1 Samuel 17:45) always seems to resonate with them. In our classroom, we often talk about trusting God like David did, which makes coloring these pages even more meaningful. We also had a delightful snack of fruit and crackers afterward, giving them time to chat about their favorite parts of the story. Each of the six images shows a different scene from the battle, allowing the kids to engage with the story as they color.
