More about these Bible coloring pages
‘Samuel took the horn of oil’ (1 Samuel 16:13) reminds us of a special moment when God chose David to be king. Last Tuesday during our morning circle, my 4-year-olds were so excited when we colored the Samuel Anoints David pages. The illustrations show Samuel pouring oil, David looking hopeful, and even the beautiful horn he used. Each child picked their favorite colors and asked questions about why David was chosen. I love that these pages are free printables, making them easy to share with families in our class. We also used these pages to talk about how God sees our hearts, not just our appearances. It sparked a fun discussion about being kind and brave, just like David. After coloring, we had a little snack and reflected on how we can be good friends, just as David was. I can't wait for next week’s lesson with these pages!
