More about these coloring pages
The Bible donkey coloring page is a great way to engage kids in the lesson about Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. One of my favorite moments during last quarter's lesson was when the kids colored the donkey while hearing the story. They loved quoting, 'They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them' (Matthew 21:7) as they colored. Each page features different aspects of the story, including the joyful crowd and the cloaks laid down for Jesus. I keep a printed copy in my binder for easy access during our Sunday school sessions. These pages work well for a variety of ages, allowing my students to express themselves with color while learning about this important event. Last Wednesday, I noticed my 8-year-old niece enjoying the donkey illustrations at home. It's a wonderful way for children to connect with the Bible story and take it home with them, reinforcing what they learned in class.
