More about these coloring pages

During our Friday afternoon art time, my 7-year-old was excited to color the Fruit of the Spirit self-control coloring page. This free printable features six images, including a child choosing healthy snacks and another showing someone waiting patiently. 'But the fruit of the Spirit is self-control' (Galatians 5:22) reminds us that self-control is a gift from God. It’s a great way to start conversations about making good choices.
