More about these coloring pages

One of my favorite moments from last week's lesson was when my third graders learned about the gifts the wise men brought. 'They opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh' (Matthew 2:11) is such a profound detail. The frankincense coloring page Sunday school resource includes six unique images, from the wise men traveling to the beautiful gifts being presented. I keep a printed copy in my Sunday school binder for easy access during class. As the kids colored, I encouraged them to think about why these gifts were special. It sparked great conversations! In my experience, hands-on activities like this help solidify the lesson in children's minds. These pages are also perfect for reinforcing what we discussed earlier, making it easier for them to remember the details about Jesus' birth and its significance.
