More about these coloring pages

During our lesson last week, my class of third graders gathered around the tables, eagerly grabbing their crayons. They loved coloring the wheat sheaves, which symbolize God's blessings. As we discussed the story, I reminded them of the phrase, 'Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground' (John 12:24), and how it relates to growth and sacrifice. Each of the six images encourages kids to think about Joseph's journey and God's greater plan. We also talked about how the sheaves represent the harvest of our actions. After coloring, I plan to have them share what they learned. It’s a wonderful way to reinforce the lesson while they engage with the story.
