About this Bible story
King Herod was disturbed when he heard about Jesus' birth. The wise men came to him seeking the new king, which made him anxious about his own rule (Matthew 2:3).
“When King Herod heard this he was disturbed.”
How to Use These Coloring Pages
While the kids color, ask them, 'What do you think made King Herod feel disturbed?' Highlight how fear can lead to unwise decisions, just like Herod's actions. Use colored pencils for finer details and allow around 20 minutes for coloring, followed by sharing their thoughts.

More about these coloring pages
When my third graders colored the Herod King pages last week, they were eager to learn about the story behind them. The images include King Herod looking anxious and the wise men consulting with him. As they colored, I reminded them of when King Herod heard about Jesus' birth, saying, 'When King Herod heard this he was disturbed' (Matthew 2:3). We discussed how fear can lead to poor choices. Having these six pages handy helped reinforce our lesson on the importance of trusting God. Kids enjoy adding their own colors, which makes the lesson memorable. I keep a printed copy in my Sunday school binder for future classes. These pages are great for sparking discussions about the choices we make and the reasons behind them.
