How to Use These Coloring Pages

While coloring, ask your kids, 'Why do you think God wanted the Israelites to remember the crossing of the Jordan?' Focus on the moment when the priests stepped into the water, and the river stopped flowing. Gather supplies like crayons and paper towels for messes, and consider a follow-up activity where they can create their own reminder stones.

More about these Bible coloring pages

During our family Bible time last Friday, my 7-year-old grabbed crayons to color the twelve stones Jordan page. She was so curious about why God asked the Israelites to pick up stones. I explained how it was a way to remember what God had done. 'Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder' (Joshua 4:5) became a great discussion starter! The images in this coloring page show the priests carrying the ark and the excited children watching. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the Bible. In another moment, my younger son, who’s 5, enjoyed picking colors for each stone. Seeing him engaged reminded me how important these stories are to our faith. We even talked about how those stones were a reminder to trust God. This free printable is great for Sunday school or quiet afternoons at home, making Bible lessons fun and memorable.
