Last year I gave my three younger grandchildren a Good News of Great Joy coloring book. Much to my surprise, the two older grandchildren (ages 8 and 10) wanted one also. The kids thoroughly enjoyed coloring the pages after learning and discussing each day’s Scripture reading in the calendar, creating a special visual reminder of the biblical truths taught.
Have you considered the benefits of using Truth78 coloring books as an aid in your children’s discipleship?
- Encourage children to be more attentive and spur spiritual conversations as they are sitting down and calmly coloring their page.
- Help children more fully visualize real people, places, and events being discussed.
- Serve to help children understand the whole and/or chronological progression of a particular biblical focus (Old Testament and New Testament coloring books).
- Be a colorful and personal review tool to recall important biblical truths.
- Help children memorize Scripture by depicting symbols, people, and events that trigger their memory of a specific verse (Foundation Verses and Fighter Verses Set 1,2, and 3).
- Introduce children to the attributes of God (The ABCs of God workbook).
- Become a means for children to share what they have learned with others with others.
All told, there are a variety of ways coloring books can be incorporated into children’s discipleship. They are not the only tool or even the most important one, but as I have personally witnessed and heard from many others, coloring books can be a helpful and delightful addition to family devotions or other kinds of biblical study. Furthermore, coloring books are wonderful tools that can easily “travel” – keeping young children attentive during the sermon, long rides in the car, waiting in doctor’s office, and on and on (plus, they make unique and affordable gifts).
