More about these coloring pages
The kids loved hearing about Jonah and the whale last Tuesday during story corner. We talked about how 'The Lord provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah' (Jonah 1:17) while they colored. This Bible whale coloring page for preschool includes 6 simple images that bring the story to life, from Jonah being swallowed to the whale swimming in the sea. My 4-year-old, Emma, especially enjoyed using her chunky crayons to fill in the whale’s big, friendly smile. After coloring, we often discuss what they learned. You might ask your little ones how Jonah felt when he was in the whale. This activity fits perfectly into our lesson about listening to God.
