Learning While I Color
Children's Coloring Sheets For Cycle A
Kathleen Tolliver

"Let the little children come to me...for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs." (Matthew 19:14)

Is there a better way to develop a hunger in children for the Word of God than to tie it in with one of their favorite activities? All children love to color, and when based on the day's lections it's a great method for helping them remember the stories and themes they've learned about. Kathleen Tolliver's coloring sheets are a wonderful resource for bringing young children to Jesus and the scriptures. Simple designs with broad lines are especially suited to use with youngsters -- the patterns and people are drawn so simply that they will easily imagine themselves standing with Jesus. Based on New Testament scriptures from Cycle A, each sheet can be easily reproduced for a whole class; you can photocopy as many as you need and even put them in a rack that the children can reach themselves. Whether used at home or in church school (or with fidgety children during worship), this is an inspirational learning tool that you won't want to be without.
