More about these coloring pages

Last week, I set up a coloring station for my kids featuring the empty tomb stone rolled away coloring page. My son, who’s 9, was so excited to color the angel sitting on the stone, as he remembered the story from church. It’s such a powerful moment when Mary finds the stone rolled away and hears the message, 'He is not here; he has risen.' (Matthew 28:6) The kids really connected with the story while coloring, bringing the scene to life with their crayons. Each of the 6 images invites them to reflect on the joy of the resurrection, making it a meaningful activity. It’s a great way to reinforce the lesson while keeping them engaged and creative.
