About this Bible story

In Matthew 21:7, we read about how Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. The disciples went to get it, and 'They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them.' This moment shows how even a humble donkey plays a big role in Jesus' story.

β€œThey brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them.”

β€” Matthew 21:7 (NIV)

More about these coloring pages

On a busy Wednesday afternoon, my 9-year-old and his friend pulled out crayons to color the donkey pages. They giggled as they talked about how Jesus rode in on a donkey. They loved the image where the disciples are placing their cloaks on the donkey. 'They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them' (Matthew 21:7) really emphasizes how special this moment was. With 6 pages in this set, kids can create their own scenes from the Bible. You could even make it a group activity at church! I found that giving them a little background about the donkey's significance as a humble animal helped them appreciate the story more.
