About this Bible story

In Genesis 28:12, Jacob dreamed of a ladder reaching to heaven. He saw angels ascending and descending, showing God's presence. This story teaches us that God is always with us, just like He was with Jacob.

β€œHe had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth.”

β€” Genesis 28:12 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While kids color, ask them, 'What do you think Jacob felt when he saw the ladder?' Highlight how God was always there for Jacob, just like He is for us. Plan for about 30 minutes of coloring time, using crayons for vibrant colors, and consider a follow-up discussion about God's promises.

More about these Bible coloring pages

While coloring, my 5-year-old pointed out the angels on the ladder and asked, 'Are they going to heaven?' I loved how this led to a conversation about God's promises. One of the images shows Jacob sleeping with the ladder above him, which perfectly illustrates the moment when 'He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth' (Genesis 28:12). My kids also enjoyed using bright crayons to color the scenery around Jacob's dream. These pages are great for sparking curiosity about the Jacob and Esau story while encouraging creativity. Just last week, I printed a few copies for our church group, and the kids were so excited to share their artworks.
