Do you remember the first time you heard the story of Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection? When we’re adults, we tend to think of those Bible stories as something we’ve always known.
But there was a time when we didn’t know them. Then, our parents, grandparents, or Sunday School teachers told us these powerful stories. Over time we learned about Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.
Using simple Bible lessons and fun coloring pages is a great way to talk to kids about important events in the Bible.

Triumphal Entry Printable Coloring Sheets
The start of Holy Week is Palm Sunday when we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. He rode on the back of a donkey. People lined the streets, waved palm branches and laid their coats on the road.
They shouted, “Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” They recognized Jesus as the King of the Jews.”
Less than one week later, He was hung on a cross to die for our sins.

The Importance of Bible Coloring Sheets for Kids
Coloring pages for kids seem like a small part of teaching kids about the Bible. But they’re actually a vital part of helping kids understand God’s Word.
Taking time to sit and color allows kids to ask questions and open up conversations. I love sitting down to color with my Sunday School kids. It’s always fun to hear what they have to say. It’s the time they get silly and and chatty!
