More about these coloring pages
As we colored the stations of the cross, the kids giggled and shared stories about Jesus. One little girl said, 'Jesus loves us!' which is exactly what this journey is about. When we reach the station showing Jesus carrying the cross, I remind them of the phrase, 'He took up His cross' (Matthew 16:24). The images are engaging for our little ones, showing them important moments from the Bible. I noticed my 4-year-old, Sam, really focused on the page with Simon helping Jesus—he asked, 'Why did Simon help?' and that led to a great discussion about helping others. We often use these during story corner after our snack, where the kids can color while I read. It's a wonderful way to connect the lesson with creativity.
