More about these Bible coloring pages
When my 7-year-old son picked up his colored pencils last Saturday, he asked why David was chosen to be king. I told him how 'They anointed David king over Israel' (2 Samuel 5:3), and we talked about the importance of trusting God's decisions. This coloring page features six fun images that illustrate David's rise to kingship, including his anointing and the people celebrating. During our art time, my daughter, who's 5, loved coloring the crown and the joyful crowd. As they colored, I encouraged them to think about what makes a good leader. I plan to use these pages for our Sunday school class next week, allowing kids to express their creativity while learning about David's story. They can take the finished pages home to share with their families, making it a wonderful way to connect faith and art.
