More about these coloring pages

Last Wednesday, I watched my third graders' eyes light up as they colored the images from the Beatitudes Matthew 5 coloring page. Each page illustrates a powerful lesson, including the phrase, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit' (Matthew 5:3). These six illustrations capture different aspects of Jesus' teaching, showing kids the beauty of humility and kindness. As they colored, I asked them how they could show these qualities in their daily lives. I keep a printed copy in my classroom binder for easy access. Using these pages encourages creativity while reinforcing important lessons. A simple coloring session can turn into a meaningful conversation about how God blesses those who seek Him. Whether it’s a rainy day activity or part of our Bible lesson, these pages are a great resource for teaching about the Beatitudes.
