More about these coloring pages

The scales of justice coloring page offers a wonderful way for my students to grasp the importance of fairness in God's eyes. During last quarter's lesson, I used the phrase, 'The Lord detests dishonest scales' (Proverbs 11:1) to emphasize the value of honesty. Each image on this page highlights different aspects of justice, such as a balanced scale and individuals making fair decisions. I remember one Sunday when my second graders colored these images while discussing how they can make fair choices in their lives. Having crayons and markers ready made it easy for them to express their thoughts creatively. With six images to choose from, these pages are a great addition to our activities.
