More about these coloring pages

As the children settle in at their tables, I hand them the palm sunday coloring page for sunday school. They love coloring the scene of Jesus riding the donkey, with palm branches around Him. Last week, we talked about how the people welcomed Him, waving their branches and shouting praises. One child pointed out, 'look at all the happy faces!' as they filled the pages with bright colors. 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord' (John 12:13) reminds us of the joy this day brings. This activity not only keeps their hands busy but also helps them remember the significance of Palm Sunday. I plan to display their artwork in the hallway to share with the congregation.
