More about these coloring pages

Last Tuesday afternoon, my 9-year-old daughter and I sat down with crayons and these lovely coloring pages about gentleness. One of the images shows a gentle shepherd caring for his sheep, and it sparked a conversation about how we can be kind to others. We talked about how Jesus taught 'gentleness' (Galatians 5:22) and how we can show it in our daily lives. With six pages featuring various examples of gentleness, they're perfect for our homeschool lessons. The kids can color while we discuss what it means to be gentle in our actions and words. My 6-year-old especially enjoyed coloring the page with the soft animals, which gave us a chance to talk about caring for God's creation, too. It's a wonderful way to connect the lesson to real life.
