About this Bible story

In Genesis 2:2, we learn that God took a moment to rest. After creating the world, 'on the seventh day he rested from all his work.' This lesson reminds us of the importance of rest and reflection.

β€œOn the seventh day he rested from all his work.”

β€” Genesis 2:2 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While coloring, ask your students, 'What do you think God did on His day of rest?' Highlight how God’s rest shows His care for creation. Gather supplies like crayons and colored pencils, and plan for a 30-minute session to allow for discussion and creativity.

More about these Bible coloring pages

The kids were thrilled to pick their colors as we talked about God's creation. The images show God resting, the beauty of creation, and the peace that comes with taking time to reflect. 'On the seventh day he rested from all his work' (Genesis 2:2) serves as a reminder for us all. I often use these pages during our Sunday school class, allowing the kids to express what they understand about rest and creation while they color. Last week, I noticed my 8-year-old son using a rainbow of colors to fill in the skies and trees. It's wonderful to see them grasp the lesson through art and creativity. These pages will help make your Sunday school class more memorable.
