More about these coloring pages

Last Tuesday, my 7-year-old grabbed his favorite crayons and started coloring one of the Peter Denies Jesus pages. As he worked on the image of Peter, I asked him how he thought Peter felt after denying Jesus. He said, 'Sad!' which led us to discuss how even our heroes can make mistakes. In Matthew 26:75, we see Peter's regret as he 'went outside and wept bitterly.' These pages include moments like Peter warming himself by the fire and his conversation with the servant girl. With six printable images, these coloring pages are great for Sunday school or a quiet afternoon at home. I printed them out for my kids and noticed how engaged they were with the story. As they colored, we talked about the importance of honesty and forgiveness. It’s a wonderful way to reinforce the lesson while they enjoy a creative activity.
