More about these Bible coloring pages

My 9-year-old was so excited to color the Good Shepherd Shepherd Searching For Lost Sheep pages after reading the story in church. One image shows the shepherd gently carrying a lost sheep on his shoulders, which led to a great discussion about how Jesus cares for each of us. We talked about the verse, 'I am the good shepherd' (John 10:11), and how this relates to our lives. These pages also feature the shepherd searching in lush fields and calling out to his sheep, making it easy for little ones to connect with the story. Last week, I set a timer for 30 minutes, and my kids were so focused on coloring that time flew by. It's a great way to reinforce the lesson and keep their hands busy!
