About these coloring pages

Simple coloring for ages 3-5

These welcoming pictures introduce Jesus receiving and blessing children. Two modern friendship pictures give families a way to talk about helping and sharing.

This preschool edition has 5 distinct designs with bold outlines, large coloring spaces and very little background detail. It is separate from our more detailed collections. Children can enjoy the pictures without reading; captions and references are for an adult to share.

Read together

Begin with Matthew 19:13-15. These captions are short paraphrases and activity prompts, not quotations of Bible verses.

A little help for parents and teachers

Offer one sheet and a few chunky crayons at a time. Invite your child to choose colors, point to a familiar shape or color just the main subject. There is no need to finish every area or stay perfectly inside the lines. A child can stop and return to the page later.

How do the children feel? What is one kind thing we can do today?

About the Bible pictures

Matthew 19 describes Jesus welcoming children and laying his hands on them. The helping-hand and crayon pictures are modern applications, not events reported in that passage. The number and appearance of the pictured children are illustrative.

These original AI-assisted cartoon illustrations were prepared for this preschool collection and reviewed before staging. Facial features, clothing and simplified objects are artistic choices. Read the linked passages for the full account.
