Prayer Coloring Pages
Coloring pages are one of my favorite tools for teaching my children Biblical Truths. That is because they can be used in a variety of ways. First, these prayer coloring pages can be used as intended: for coloring. However, there are ways to elevate these simple coloring pages on prayer. For example, mount the colored page to colorful construction paper and the coloring sheet instantly becomes a poster worthy of display.
In addition, as your child colors the sheet, provide them with various craft supplies. For example, my children love working with glue sticks, small pieces of fabric and paper, stickers, markers, and other mixed media. Furthermore, your child will love expressing his or her creativity as they add these materials to their Prayer coloring pages.
Prayer Coloring Sheet and More Fun Bible Ideas
If you are looking for more resources for teaching your child about God’s Word, check out the Bible crafts, games, and activities on the Shema Culture blog. My kids love the 10 Commandments Scavenger Hunt, Fruit of the Spirit Bingo, and Good Samaritan Coloring Pages. All of the games and activities on the Shema Culture blog help busy mamas like you teach their children about God’s Truth in a fun and engaging way.
The Bible activities on the blog require minimal materials and come together in a snap. After all, busy mamas like us don’t have time to round up a long list of supplies. And we definitely don’t want to spend our life savings on materials at the big box craft store down the street! If simple and affordable-to-implement activities are what you’re looking for, you’re in the right spot! I invite you to browse the blog or click the image below to discover more ideas for training your child in righteousness.
Coloring Page on Prayer: More Creative Ideas
In addition to serving as a coloring page, these prayer coloring sheets can be turned into cards for family and friends. First, mount the colored sheet on sturdy paper (scrapbook paper works well!) with a glue stick. Next, have your child write a special message on the card and sign his or her name. Encourage them to deliver the card they made to someone special. It is often simple gestures that make someone’s day!
What’s more, my children enjoy using watercolor paints to add a special touch to their prayer coloring pages. I suggest printing the coloring pages on cardstock if using watercolors. This helps to prevent bleeding and a soggy outcome.
Combining God’s Truth with Education
Oftentimes, there are opportunities for teaching Biblical principles alongside learning concepts. Here are some ways you can use these prayer coloring sheets in this way:
Storytelling and Creative Writing
After coloring a scene from the prayer coloring pages, encourage your child to create a story or write a short paragraph about what they think is happening in the picture. This enhances their storytelling and imaginative skills.
Math and Counting Practice
Ask your child to color a specific number of items shown on the coloring page. This activity helps them practice counting and basic math skills.
Fine Motor Skills Development
Use intricate coloring pages with detailed patterns or designs to help improve your child’s fine motor skills and concentration abilities. Fine motor skill practice benefits little hands because it builds muscles and dexterity.
Themed Learning Activities
Coordinate these prayer coloring pages with a lesson around the topic of prayer. This reinforces learning through visual representation.
Emotional Expression
Utilize coloring pages as a tool for emotional expression and relaxation. Ask your child to choose colors that represent their feelings or emotions at that moment.
Collaborative Art Projects
If you are working with a group of children, tape together several coloring pages to create a large mural. Have the group work on different sections, or work on one together, encouraging teamwork and creativity.
Interactive Games and Puzzles
Cut out different parts of the prayer coloring pages and have kids match and glue them onto a separate sheet of paper to create a puzzle or scene. This activity is a favorite in my house!
By incorporating these creative ideas, coloring pages can become a dynamic tool for learning, creativity, and fun with kids of various ages.
Prayer Discussion Questions for Kids
My favorite way to use these prayer coloring pages is as a tool for sparking meaningful conversations with my children. As your child colors, ask them open-ended questions about prayer. You may be surprised by their answers and the questions they may ask. Here are some questions to get you started:

How would you explain prayer to a friend who doesn’t know about it?
Why do people pray?
