More about these Bible coloring pages

While teaching about Elisha last week, I pulled out these coloring pages. One image shows Elisha standing strong, while another captures the moment when 'two bears came out of the woods' (2 Kings 2:24). My students, ages 8 to 10, loved coloring Elisha's determined face and the bears' fierce expressions. We discussed how important it is to treat others with kindness. I always keep a printed copy in my Sunday school binder, and it makes for a great follow-up to our lesson. After the coloring activity, we talked about how actions have consequences, just like in Elisha's story. These pages are a wonderful way to engage kids and reinforce the lesson.
