More about these coloring pages

During our last quarter's lesson on forgiveness, I handed out these coloring pages to my class. Each page features a scene that illustrates forgiveness beautifully, helping kids remember to 'Forgive as the Lord forgave you' (Colossians 3:13). One of my favorites shows a child embracing a friend after a disagreement, which sparked so many meaningful discussions. My third graders especially loved the page with a heart and the words 'I forgive you' — it really resonated with them. As they colored, I could see them thinking about their own friendships and how important it is to forgive. These pages are perfect for reinforcing the lesson in a visual and hands-on way. Whether you're using them in class or sending them home, they make the concept of forgiveness tangible and relatable.
