More about these coloring pages

Last week during our art time, my 7-year-old asked why Judith was so fearless. As he colored, he said, 'Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day' (Judith 13:7) made him think about how God helps us in tough times. The coloring page features Judith sneaking into Holofernes' tent and her courageous act, which can lead to discussions about bravery in faith. We also talked about how God can use anyone to make a difference. Each of the six images tells part of the story, from Judith’s clever plan to the aftermath of her victory. I found that as my kids colored, they were more engaged in the lesson, asking questions about the story and its meaning. Using crayons or markers, this free printable coloring page is great for our Sunday school class or a fun afternoon at home.
