β€œHe makes me lie down in green pastures.”

More about these coloring pages

While my kids were coloring the Psalm 23 Shepherd pages, they talked about how a shepherd takes care of their sheep. One of my younger ones, only 5, was eager to color the shepherd leading the sheep to 'green pastures' (Psalm 23:2). It sparked a lovely conversation about how God guides us, just like the shepherd. Each coloring page features delightful scenes that help bring the story to life, from cozy sheep to tranquil landscapes. On Friday, we even made it a group project, sharing crayons and laughter as we colored together. It's a sweet way to bond and learn about God's love!
