More about these Bible coloring pages
When I pulled out the good shepherd coloring page, my third graders were eager to get started. One image shows Jesus holding a sheep, reminding us that 'I am the good shepherd' (John 10:11), while another illustrates a lush green pasture where the sheep can roam freely. Each of the six images captures aspects of Jesus' love and protection. I often set up a coloring station during lesson time, allowing kids to express their creativity while discussing the story. This week, I plan to use colored pencils for finer details, and I always keep extra sheets on hand just in case. It’s rewarding to see how engaged they become in the lesson as they color.
