More about these Bible coloring pages

My son, who’s 7, sat at the kitchen table last week, excitedly picking out colors for the Elisha coloring pages. As he colored, we talked about how Elisha asked Elijah, 'Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit' (2 Kings 2:9). These pages include scenes of Elisha performing miracles, like the healing of Naaman and the floating axe head. It was a great way to link our art time with some Bible learning. We used colored pencils which worked well for the details in the images. I also found that discussing Elisha's commitment to God while he colored made our time together meaningful. The kids really love seeing how he took on those big challenges, and it sparked deeper conversations about faith. This coloring set is a free printable resource that's easy to print and share with fellow homeschool families or Sunday school classes.
