In the book of Daniel, King Belshazzar saw mysterious writing on the wall during a feast. He called for Daniel to explain it. The message was a warning from God, saying 'Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.' (Daniel 5:25).
“Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.”

More about these Bible coloring pages
My eight-year-old, Sam, loved coloring the scene where Daniel interprets the writing on the wall. As he filled in the details, I reminded him of the moment King Belshazzar's feast turned to fear when the words appeared. The short phrase 'Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.' (Daniel 5:25) was a powerful reminder of God's message. The children can color Daniel, the king, and even the mysterious writing itself, which helps them visualize the story. This free printable is a great way to enhance our lesson and keep the kids engaged. I often keep these pages in my Sunday school binder for future classes, as they never lose interest in the dramatic twist of this story.
