How to Use These Coloring Pages

More about these coloring pages

This Jesus resurrection coloring page for preschool is a joyful way to share the Easter story! On Wednesday, during our craft time, we showed the children the page with the angel by the empty tomb. They were excited to color and learn how 'He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.' (Matthew 28:6). Each of the six images captures a special moment of the resurrection story, making it perfect for sharing with little ones. I love using these pages in my classroom to help preschoolers connect with the Bible. Last Friday, we used colored pencils and crayons to fill in the angel and the bright flowers. The kids were so engaged, and it allowed us to reflect on Jesus' love and the miracle of Easter. It's easy to print and perfect for any church or home setting!
