More about these coloring pages

Last Sunday, my daughter colored a St Francis of Assisi coloring page while I read about his life. She loved the image of him surrounded by animals, asking, 'Did he really talk to them?' It sparked a conversation about how we should care for God's creation. The pages include scenes of St. Francis with various animals and even his famous moment preaching to the birds, reminding us that 'the earth is the Lord's' (Psalm 24:1). These six free coloring pages are great for kids to express their creativity while learning about this beloved saint. I printed them for our church class, where the kids enjoyed discussing St. Francis' kindness and compassion. It’s heartwarming to see them connect with his story as they color.
