More about these coloring pages
‘Have mercy on me, O God’ (Psalm 51:1) is a powerful reminder for our little ones as they color. Each of the 6 images in this act of contrition coloring page portrays moments of prayer and asking for forgiveness. I remember last quarter when my class worked on these pages, their focus was incredible. They especially loved the picture of hands clasped in prayer. It sparked a great discussion about how we can talk to God anytime. Using these pages during our lesson not only reinforces the importance of contrition but also allows the kids to express their feelings creatively. I keep a printed copy in my Sunday school binder for future lessons. It’s such a useful tool to connect the kids with God’s mercy through art.
