More about these coloring pages
While teaching last quarter's lesson on the ichthys fish, I found my students engaged as they colored. One child exclaimed, 'Look, it’s a fish!' as they worked on the pages. Each of the 6 images captures a unique part of the story, including the fish symbol and Jesus with his disciples. It's a beautiful way to remind kids of Jesus' words: 'I will send you out to fish for people.' (Matthew 4:19) The coloring pages are easy to use and will fit perfectly into our Sunday school activities. I always keep a few printed copies in my binder for extra fun during class.
