More about these Bible coloring pages
Last week, I spread out the Samuel Anoints David coloring pages on our kitchen table while my kids finished their snacks. My 5-year-old was drawn to the picture of Samuel pouring oil over David's head. In that moment, he asked, 'Why did David get chosen?' It was a great opportunity to discuss how 'Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him.' (1 Samuel 16:13). The other images show David as a shepherd and Samuel speaking to God, making it easy for kids to connect with the story. Using these pages during our Bible study time has made learning fun. Kids can color while we talk about the importance of being chosen by God. I printed them out quickly, and they’re easy to use with crayons or colored pencils. I love how they can express their creativity while diving into such a meaningful story!
