During your coloring session, ask the kids, 'How do you think Elijah felt when the ravens brought him food?' Highlight how God cares for us, just like He did for Elijah. Use these pages right after story time, and provide plenty of crayons to keep everyone engaged.

More about these coloring pages

One of my favorite moments is when my 4-year-old students gathered around the table with crayons, excited to color the bible raven. As they colored, we talked about how God provided for Elijah in the desert. They giggled as we discussed how the ravens would swoop down to deliver food, just like in the story, 'The ravens brought him bread and meat' (1 Kings 17:6). The six images on this page include a raven flying with food and Elijah resting, which really capture the story's essence. During our lesson, I handed out the free printable pages, and the kids felt proud to take their artwork home. These pages are simple enough for little hands, yet they allow for creativity while learning about God's provision. I can't wait to use these again next week!
