More about these Bible coloring pages

While my 10-year-old was working on the Noah's Ark coloring page last week, she couldn't stop talking about how many animals must have fit inside the ark. The images show Noah, the animals, and the ark itself, capturing the essence of the story from Genesis. It's amazing how 'Noah did everything just as God commanded him.' (Genesis 6:22) β€” such a great lesson in obedience. We used crayons, but I bet colored pencils would work well too! I printed the pages out for our Bible study group, and they were a big hit. The kids loved bringing the story to life with their own colors. It's a fun way to reinforce the message while they create.
