More about these Bible coloring pages

I remember the excitement last Friday when my kids saw the Jacob's Ladder coloring page for the first time. They immediately asked about the dream that Jacob had. The page includes images of the ladder, angels, and Jacob resting. As they colored, I reminded them of the moment when 'He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth' (Genesis 28:12). We talked about how God was with Jacob and how He promises to be with us too. These pages are not only fun but also a great way to spark conversations about the Bible. My 9-year-old used bright colors to bring the ladder to life, and it turned into a teaching moment about God's faithfulness. With six different images to choose from, this free printable is a fantastic resource for any homeschool or Sunday school class.
