More about these Bible coloring pages

Last Tuesday, my 2-year-old grabbed his favorite crayons and got to work on the prodigal son coloring page. He loved the picture of the father welcoming his son back home. It’s so sweet to see him create while I read the story. I reminded him of the part where 'His father saw him and was filled with compassion.' (Luke 15:20). Each of the 6 images is simple enough for tiny hands to color without frustration. We had a great time bonding over this Bible story. Coloring together helps him understand how much love and forgiveness the father had for his son. Perfect for a rainy afternoon or circle time with friends!
