About this set
What you are getting
These are thirty one-page coloring pictures from the Bible, free to print and use as often as you like. Each one is a scene drawn from things: the ark resting on the mountains, a lamp for the path, the manger, five loaves and two fish, the stone rolled away, a sling and five stones, a vine with its branches, a net, a well, a mustard seed and the tree it grows into. There are no faces to guess at, only big, plain shapes with thick lines that a child of four to eight can fill in without the crayon wandering. Under every picture is one whole verse from the Berean Standard Bible, word for word, written in outline letters. The letters are for coloring too, so a child reads the verse while coloring it. The verse is never more than twenty words, and the reference is printed underneath. A good way to use a page: read the verse aloud first, tell the story in your own words, then hand over the crayons. Younger children can color the picture and watch the letters; older children can color every letter and then copy the verse onto lined paper. Print on plain paper, or on card stock if you would like to frame the finished page. Each page is a single Letter-size sheet with a thin frame and room around the edge for a child's name and the date.

How we made these
Made by a homeschool family
Every picture is drawn in code, one shape at a time, so every outline is a closed shape that can be filled with a single color. Bible scenes here are drawn as objects (the ark, a lamp, a basket, a well); where a story has an animal, such as the sheep, the great fish, the dove or the ravens, it is a plain shape with no face. We never draw a face of God or of Jesus. Each verse is copied from the Berean Standard Bible text by program, not typed from memory, and checked to be whole and no longer than twenty words.
Questions
Questions families ask
What ages are these for?
They are made for children about four to eight. The scenes use big shapes and thick lines. Older children can color the verse letters too and then copy the verse in their best handwriting.
Which Bible translation is used?
The Berean Standard Bible (BSB). Every verse is word for word from the text, with its reference and the letters BSB under it, and no verse is longer than twenty words.
Why are there no people in the pictures?
We draw the things from the stories: the ark, the manger, the loaves, the stone, the net. This keeps the pictures simple, lets children imagine the story for themselves, and means we never draw a face of God or of Jesus.
Can I print as many as I like?
Yes. The pages are free for your family, your co-op or your classroom. Please do not sell them or post the PDFs on another site; sharing the link to this page is welcome.
What should I print on?
Plain printer paper works well with crayons, colored pencils and markers. Use heavier paper if you plan to paint, and print at 100 percent (actual size) on Letter paper.
Is there more from Ezra Learning to go with these?
Yes. The Ezra library has bound Bible coloring books for Grades 1 to 9 and a first Bible coloring book for Kindergarten, and the Ezra app has a Bible strand for every grade.
