More about these Bible coloring pages

While coloring, kids can see Joseph's faithfulness shine through even in hard times. One image shows him interpreting dreams, reminding them of how God was with him. As we discuss the story, I always mention, 'The Lord was with him; he showed him kindness' (Genesis 39:21). My 8-year-old niece enjoyed using the colored pencils last week, and it sparked a conversation about trusting God. These pages can help visualize the story as kids color in the prison setting and Joseph's interactions. I keep a few copies ready for when we have extra time in class. It's wonderful to see their creativity come alive while learning about Joseph's journey.
