John 3:16 Coloring Pages
As a child, one of the first Bible verses I learned was John 3:16. This verse has always been special to me because it tells of the Father’s deep love for His children. The fact that He would send His only Son to die so I can live will always leave me in awe. Because of the power of this verse, I want my children to hide this Scripture in their hearts. I want them to know the width, length, depth, and height of God’s love for them (Ephesians 3:18).
I created these John 3:16 coloring pages for you to use as a tool to teach your child about this simple but powerful verse. Your child will enjoy coloring one or all three designs in this free printable “For God So Loved the World” coloring page pack. As your child colors these pages, I suggest you open your Bible together and read this life-changing verse. Yes, the verse is printed on the coloring sheet, but there is something special about reading from the pages of an open Bible with your child!

Coloring pages are one of my favorite tools for teaching children about God’s Truth. That’s because the activity of coloring is easy to implement. As a mama, I have found that complicated crafts and activities cause me to feel overwhelmed. Then that overwhelming feeling and “analysis paralysis” takes over and I end up doing nothing at all in the way of fun activities to teach my kids about God’s Ways. I strongly believe that mamas need simple and easily accessible crafts and activities to help our kids grow in God’s Truth!
I encourage you to use these John 3:16 coloring pages as an opportunity for meaningful conversation with your child. For example, after you have read the Scripture from your Bible and as your child colors the page, ask them open-ended questions to spark meaningful discussion. Simple questions can sometimes spark dialogue that leads to a deeper understanding of God’s Word and bonding with your child.

John 3:16 Coloring Sheet
As I previously mentioned, coloring sheets are a simple and easy tool for teaching kids about God’s Truth. I have found that a few craft materials can turn kids’ coloring experiences into works of art. For example, providing your child with scissors, glue, stickers, construction paper, and scrap fabric pieces will allow their creativity to run wild! In addition, my children enjoy using watercolors to add color to their coloring sheets. If you choose to go this route, I suggest printing the John 3:16 coloring pages on cardstock to avoid a soggy mess!

Have your child color the pages, cut them apart, and glue the pieces onto a large piece of paper to create a mural. Your child may enjoy adding various mixed media items to the collage, such as leaves, fabric, sticks, yarn, etc. Using this project with a group of children promotes teamwork and creativity.

Your child will enjoy creating cards and posters from these John 3:16 color sheets to give as gifts. Have them color the sheets and fold them in half to create a card. Encourage your child to decorate the front of the card and sign their name. In addition, have your child mount the colored page to construction paper to create a poster.
