More about these Bible coloring pages

During circle time yesterday, my 5-year-olds were giggling over the Joseph and Brothers coloring page. They couldn't wait to color the scene where Joseph forgives his brothers. As they colored, we talked about the moment when Joseph said, 'I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt.' (Genesis 45:4). The page’s simple designs are perfect for little hands, and I love seeing their creativity shine. We also had crayons and a snack ready, which made for a joyful time.
