When I went to Bible college, Bible reading, prayer and memorizing scripture was mandatory. That made it easy to want to study and put God’s word to memory. It is also easy to make my children study scripture as part of their homeschool curriculum. We have them memorize certain verses we feel are the most important. Verses that will encourage and strengthen their faith. But, as for my own studies, I find myself very undisciplined.

This post contains affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure for more information.

That’s why I have found that Bible verse coloring pages really help! While I color the image that captures the meaning of the verse, I say it over and over to myself. I will also use it as a time to pray with and about the verse and what it means.

Bible Verse Coloring Pages

These coloring pages are free and will help you remember 6 verses that capture the whole Bible. Hand drawn by a Christian mom, she captures the essence of the verse beautifully in her images.

Older children will really enjoy this as part of their scripture memorization or Bible study. You could even read the chapters that the verses are from while they color.

These pages include the following verses that represent 6 events of the Bible.

1. Creation – Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
2. The Fall of Man (Adam & Eve) – Philippians 2:11a “every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord”
3. Judgement (Noah and the Flood) – Genesis 9:13a “I have set my bow in the cloud”
4. The Promise (Abraham) – Luke 12:31 “Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you everything you need.”
5. God’s People (Moses) – The Ten Commandments
6. Jesus – Matthew 28:6a “He isn’t here! He is risen, just as he said”

The 6 events are the most important to teach your children and what all the other events in the Bible can be categorized under. It is what we use to summarize the Bible and help our children understand the past present and future!

The short story is, I couldn’t find any so I made some. Here’s what I came up with; Stained Glass Nativity Ornaments.

They are pretty enough to laminate and keep for a while or give them to people on presents like gift tags. You could also use some clear tape and hang them in the window.

Stained Glass Nativity Ornaments

To be honest, I had fun coloring some too. I printed the ornaments on card stock and used my BIC permanent markers to color each little area a different color. Colored pencils or crayons would work great too!

I tried to keep each section the same hue; I used blues and yellows for the sky, greens and browns for the ground.

We tried adding some oil to the back of the ornaments in a few places so the light can come through them even more and make them really look like stained glass. The great thing about these nativity ornaments is that the Christmas story really shows through because they’re in black silhouettes. That means they look awesome on the tree!

These are definitely laminate-worthy and if you do use a little oil, or choose to oil the whole backside, it will help the oil from getting on other things.

These are close to my favorite ornaments so far! How about you? What is your favorite handmade ornament?

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy the free printable!

That’s why it is wise to get kids involved in art at an early age.  It really boosts their creative abilities, has them focus on details, and gets them to plan ahead.  Sometimes, it really is about the process not the product, but eventually we want are children to be able to create what their hearts desire.  That is why experimenting with all sorts of creative art activities is so important and fun!  Check out these 9 art activities for inspiration!
