More about these coloring pages

The Matthew 5 7 Merciful coloring page includes six delightful images that bring the lesson of mercy to life. I remember last Wednesday, my class was giggling as they colored a scene showing someone helping a friend in need. It connected beautifully to the verse: 'Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.' One child, who’s usually quiet, shared how they helped a classmate who fell down during recess. These moments make the lesson so personal. The pages are easy to print, and I keep a stack in my binder for spontaneous sessions. They’re a great way to reinforce the lesson during our discussions.
