About this Bible story

In the story of the Twelve Spies, Moses sent twelve men to scout the land of Canaan. Only Joshua and Caleb believed they could conquer it, saying, 'We can certainly do it.' (Numbers 13:30).

We can certainly do it.

Numbers 13:30 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While coloring, ask the kids why they think it was important for Joshua and Caleb to believe they could conquer the land. Highlight how they trusted God despite the doubts of the other spies. Set aside about 20 minutes for this activity, and consider following up with a story time about the spies' adventure.
