More about these Bible coloring pages

At snack time today, I overheard my 4-year-old, Mia, share how Samuel listened for God. Coloring the Samuel As Child Temple coloring page allowed the kids to connect with this important story. Each page shows different moments, like Samuel's first conversation with God and the temple itself. As they colored, I reminded them of God's words, 'Speak, for your servant is listening' (1 Samuel 3:10). The kids were so eager to learn and share their thoughts! Using these pages during our circle time makes the Bible story come alive. They can easily take their colored pages home to share with their families, too.
