More about these Bible coloring pages

The words 'Then have them make a sanctuary for me.' (Exodus 25:8) highlight God's call to create the Tabernacle. I remember last Wednesday when my third graders were excited to color images of the Ark of the Covenant and the beautiful curtains that surrounded the sanctuary. Each of the six pages brings the Tabernacle story to life, making it easier for the kids to grasp its significance as a holy place. We often use these pages in our Sunday school lessons. I keep a printed copy in my binder so we can discuss the importance of worshiping God together as a community. Coloring helps them remember the details, like the golden lampstand and the altar of incense. These pages are a fantastic resource for any Sunday school class.
