More about these coloring pages

Last week during our Easter lesson, I could hear the excitement in my classroom as we talked about the empty tomb. My third graders were captivated by the angel’s message to Mary Magdalene. The coloring page captures that moment beautifully with images of the angel, the empty tomb, and Mary. As they color, I love reminding them of the angel's words, 'He is not here; he has risen.' (Matthew 28:6). Each of the six images provides a chance for them to express their creativity while also reflecting on the miracle of Jesus' resurrection. It’s a great way to make the lesson stick — I keep a printed copy in my binder to use every Easter.
