More about these coloring pages

During our circle time last week, my 10-year-old colored one of these pages and asked why we honor those who served. It turned into a great discussion about love and sacrifice, tying back to Jesus' words, 'Greater love has no one than this' (John 15:13). Each of the six images illustrates elements of the Memorial Day story, encouraging kids to reflect on what it means to remember and honor. We also used colored pencils and markers, making it a fun, creative session. As they colored, I emphasized how Memorial Day isn’t just a holiday—it's a chance for us to express our gratitude to those who've made sacrifices for our freedom. This coloring page is a simple and engaging way to connect lessons with creativity.
