More about these coloring pages

My 4-year-olds were buzzing with excitement as we colored the Easter Cross. They asked questions about why the cross is so important. One child pointed to the image of the cross and said, 'That’s where Jesus died for us!' It's a beautiful moment of connection. The coloring pages include vibrant depictions of the cross and the surrounding flowers, which really bring the story to life. As we colored, I reminded them, 'He died on the cross to save us' (John 3:16). Each page is a chance to discuss Jesus' love and the meaning of Easter. I also found that these pages made great take-home crafts for parents to see their children's work.
