More about these coloring pages

One evening, while my 7-year-old was coloring an Ichthys fish, she asked why it was a symbol for Christians. I explained that it represents Jesus' words, 'I will send you out to fish for people' (Matthew 4:19). We talked about how He called His disciples to spread His message. This coloring page has 6 different designs, including a simple Ichthys fish and one with a verse. Kids love using bright crayons to fill them in. During our homeschool session last week, I printed these ichthys fish coloring pages for my son to use while I read to him. He was so focused on coloring that he listened intently to the story. It’s a great way to combine art and learning about Jesus' teachings. These pages are not just fun; they also foster discussions about faith and sharing it with others.
