More about these coloring pages

When my 5-year-old picked up the crayons last week, she immediately gravitated toward the child praying hands coloring page. As she colored, I read her the story from Matthew 19:14, where Jesus invites children to come to Him, saying, 'Let the little children come to me.' This page not only encourages kids to express their prayers but also helps them connect with Jesus' love for them. The coloring images include a child’s hands clasped in prayer, a peaceful setting, and other elements that inspire faith. These pages are perfect for a Sunday school activity. I printed them out for a small group and saw how engaged the kids were. They spent time discussing their favorite ways to pray while coloring, which led to sweet moments of sharing. With six pages, you can easily make it a group activity or keep them for home use. Encourage your kids to share what they talk to God about as they color!
