More about these coloring pages

While my kids were coloring, we talked about how the dove found hope after the flood’s destruction. One of the pages shows the dove with 'There in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf!' (Genesis 8:11), which sparked a conversation about God’s promise. We even took a break to plant a small olive tree in our backyard to symbolize peace. My kids, ages 6 and 9, enjoyed using colored pencils, and we ended the day by reading more about Noah's story. These olive branch peace coloring pages are simple for kids and help illustrate a significant Bible message.
