More about these Bible coloring pages

One morning last week, we gathered around the table to color while discussing how God took a break after creating the world. The kids were so excited to color the image of God resting. I reminded them that 'on the seventh day he rested from all his work' (Genesis 2:2). Each of the six pages includes fun visuals, like a peaceful scene of creation and a happy sun shining down. My 4-year-old, Emma, particularly enjoyed bringing the sun to life with bright yellows and oranges. We also talked about how important it is to rest and spend time with family. These coloring pages not only fit perfectly into our Bible lesson but also keep little hands busy during our snack time.
