More about these coloring pages
When my son picked up the crayons last week, he immediately went for the shepherd staff coloring page. As he colored, he asked me why David used a staff. I shared how, just like David, God uses His staff to comfort and guide us. This coloring page includes six images depicting a shepherd caring for sheep and highlights the verse, 'Your rod and your staff, they comfort me' (Psalm 23:4). I love how it opens up conversations about our relationship with God. We often use these pages during our Friday afternoon art time. It’s a great way to connect Bible stories with creative expression. The detailed images make it easy for kids to stay engaged. I sometimes even use it as a springboard for discussions on how we can be good shepherds to one another, just like David was.
