Bible Coloring Pages for Kids – 55 Printable Sheets
If you’re looking for Bible coloring pages for kids, I’ve been working on something really special!
I created a collection of 55 printable Bible coloring pages featuring favorite stories from the Old Testament, the life of Jesus, Holy Week, Easter, and more.
And I wanted to make sure you could try them before purchasing the complete collection, so I’m also sharing 15 free Bible coloring pages you can download and print right here on the blog.
I actually decided to create this collection after a reader reached out to me asking if I had Bible coloring pages available to purchase. I didn’t at the time, but the message stuck with me.
I already create so many printable activities for kids, and I loved the idea of creating something that could help children learn about God’s Word at the same time.
Whether you’re a parent, homeschooler, Christian school teacher, or Sunday school teacher, you can download the 15 free pages below or get the complete 55-page Bible Coloring Book if you’d like the entire collection.
And because coloring is something kids already enjoy doing, it’s such an easy way to turn a regular afternoon activity into a little Bible lesson.

Printable Bible Coloring Pages for Kids
These Bible coloring sheets feature familiar stories from both the Old and New Testament.
I wanted the illustrations to be simple enough for younger children to color without having hundreds of tiny spaces, but still detailed enough that older kids can enjoy them too.
You can print individual pages when you’re learning about a particular Bible story or put several together to create your own Bible story coloring book.
Some of the Bible stories included in the collection are:
God’s Creation
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
Noah building the ark
Animals entering Noah’s ark
Noah and the rainbow
Abraham and the stars
Baby Isaac
Joseph and his coat
Moses and the burning bush
Moses and the Ten Commandments
David and Goliath
Daniel in the lions’ den
Jonah and the great fish
The birth of Jesus
Jesus and His disciples
Jesus calming the storm
Jesus feeding the 5,000
Jesus welcoming the children
The Last Supper
The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus
The finished collection gives kids a visual journey through some of the best-known stories in the Bible while giving them plenty of opportunities to color.
Why I Created These Bible Coloring Pages
I already love creating educational printables for children, and Bible coloring pages felt like such a natural addition.
As a mom, I also know that sometimes the simplest activities are the ones that actually get used.
You don’t always need an elaborate craft or a full lesson plan.
Sometimes you just need a printer, a box of crayons, and ten quiet minutes to talk about a Bible story together.
That’s exactly what I wanted these pages to be.
Learning God's Word Through Coloring
Coloring might seem like a simple activity, but it can also be a really useful visual teaching tool.
Young children aren’t necessarily going to remember every detail from a long Bible reading. Giving them an illustration connected to the story can help make what they’re hearing more concrete.
For example, after reading the biblical story of Creation from the Book of Genesis, children can color a Creation page.
When you’re learning about Noah, they can color the ark, the animals, and the rainbow while talking about God’s promise.
When you’re reading about the life of Jesus Christ, kids can color scenes connected to His birth, miracles, teachings, death, and resurrection.
It’s a fun way to reinforce important Bible truths without making another lesson feel like schoolwork.
Ways to Use Bible Coloring Sheets
There are lots of creative ways to use these printable pages beyond simply handing your child a coloring sheet.
Use them during your regular Bible study, after reading a Bible story at bedtime, during homeschool Bible lessons, in kids ministry classes, or as part of your Sunday school activities.
If you’re a Sunday school teacher, you could choose a coloring page that coordinates with that week’s lesson. They also work well as an independent activity while children arrive or as a quiet activity at the end of class.
For a Christian school, the pages could be added to religion lessons, morning work, centers, or early-finisher activities.
At home, you could even create a Bible coloring binder. Add each finished page to the binder as you work your way through different stories.
Over time, your child will have their very own collection of Bible stories they’ve colored themselves.
Bible Verse Coloring Pages
Another idea is to pair the pictures with Bible verses.
You can write a short scripture quote on the back of the finished coloring page or have older children look up the corresponding passage in their Bible.
For another easy way to bring Scripture into your child’s day, take a look at these 50 back-to-school Bible verses for kids. They include encouraging Bible verses that are especially nice to read together at the beginning of a new school year.
This works especially well if you’re studying a specific Bible book or teaching children about certain character qualities.
For example, a Daniel coloring page can lead to a conversation about courage and trusting God, while a Good Samaritan page can help children talk about kindness and loving their neighbor.
For older children, you could ask them to write their favorite Bible verse underneath the picture or explain what they learned from the story.
That turns a coloring activity into a simple Bible reflection without needing an entire curriculum.
Bible Coloring Pages for Sunday School
These pages also work well as simple children’s ministry resources.
Sunday school and children’s church lessons often need an activity that doesn’t require a huge amount of preparation.
Printable coloring pages are especially useful because you can simply print however many copies you need.
Use them alongside your regular Bible-based curriculum packages, children’s Bible, lesson plans, or Scripture readings rather than treating the coloring sheet as the entire lesson.
Creation Coloring Pages
Creation is one of my favorite Bible topics for young children because there are so many beautiful visual themes.
The sun, moon, stars, animals, oceans, plants, and people all give children something recognizable to color while learning about how God created the world.
Read Genesis together first, then let the kids color the corresponding picture.
It’s an easy way to introduce the Book of Genesis to younger children.
Jesus Coloring Pages
The Jesus coloring pages in the collection focus on important moments from His life and ministry.
Children can color scenes from the Nativity as well as His miracles, teachings, interactions with children, and resurrection.
These Christian coloring pages can be especially helpful around Christmas and Easter, but they don’t have to be limited to holidays.
If you’re using these pages around Easter, you might also like my free printable Easter coloring pages for kids.
They can be used throughout the year as you work your way through the New Testament and learn more about Jesus.
Tips for Printing Your Bible Coloring Pages
The coloring pages are provided as a PDF file, which makes them easy to print at home.
For the best results, I recommend printing the pages on regular white printer paper. If your child likes using markers, slightly heavier paper can help prevent the ink from bleeding through.
When printing the PDF format, check your printer settings and choose “fit to page” if necessary so none of the illustration gets cut off.
You can print the entire coloring book or just select the pages you want.
That also makes it easy to reuse the collection with multiple children or for different Bible lessons throughout the year.
