Bible Coloring Pages

These 15 free printable bible coloring pages cover the most-taught stories and symbols in children's ministry: Noah's ark, the burning bush, Jonah and the whale, Daniel in the lions' den, Moses parting the Red Sea, and more. Every page downloads as a PDF sized for standard US Letter paper, prints cleanly on a home or school printer, and requires no signup. The subjects are drawn as clear black-and-white line art with bold outlines and open areas, so they work for children from preschool through middle school and adapt well to crayons, colored pencils, or markers.

Sunday school teachers and children's ministry leaders use these sheets alongside story time, memory-verse review, or a crafts table. Each page is keyed to a specific story or symbol, so it can be handed out at the moment that story comes up in the lesson rather than kept for a separate art session. The pages with animals, such as the ark with its giraffes and elephants or Jonah's whale with its water spout, tend to go first; the more symbolic sheets like David's harp and the ark of the covenant suit older children who are ready to engage with the object and its meaning side by side.

A few tips worth knowing before you print. The cross with flowers and the burning bush both reward planning the colors before you start: the rose on the cross looks best if the petals and the leaves stay as separate color families, and the burning bush works when the outer leaves stay green while the center flames are orange or gold. The dove and the loaves-and-fishes basket both have small repeating shapes, feathers and woven diamonds, that suit a patient systematic approach rather than a single sweep of color. For large open sheets like the Red Sea walls, a light base layer of one color followed by a slightly darker one in the shadow areas adds depth without needing any special technique.

Pages in this collection

Noah's Ark on the Water is the most approachable entry point, with four large animals and a simple wave line below the hull. Rainbow Over Noah's Ark follows it naturally and gives children a chance to fill in every color of the spectrum at once. Dove With Olive Branch shows the bird large with wings spread wide, each feather outlined as a separate panel.

Cross With Flowers pairs a wooden cross with a climbing rose for Easter and Good Friday lessons. Open Bible With a Candle is the simplest sheet and the quietest: a flat open book and a single flame, good for coloring during a read-aloud. Jonah and the Whale shows Jonah curled inside the whale's belly with a large blowhole spout above.

Shepherd With Sheep on a Hill shows the figure in profile with three sheep and a cluster of stars above, suitable for Psalm 23, the lost sheep parable, or the nativity. David's Harp is the only sheet with no figures at all: a large triangular instrument with twelve strings and a six-pointed star on the soundboard. Loaves and Fishes places the five loaves in a woven basket with two fish in front, the central objects of the feeding miracle.

Burning Bush fills the shrub with large teardrop flames and keeps the lower stems plain so the fire reads clearly. Ark of the Covenant draws the gold chest with its carrying poles and two angels facing inward from opposite ends of the lid. Daniel in the Lions Den shows the figure from behind between two settled lions whose gaze is directed upward, not at Daniel.

Star of Bethlehem Over a Stable fills the upper half with a large eight-pointed star and places a small stable with manger, donkey, and ox below. Moses Parting the Red Sea divides the page into three vertical bands: left water wall, dry path, right water wall. Palm Sunday Donkey With Palm Branches shows the donkey with a draped cloth and five large palm fronds fanned around it.
