Shavuot Coloring Pages
My family looks forward to celebrating Shavuot every year! It is a fun and meaningful holiday and I love to come up with new ways to observe this special day. One simple way to remember its meaning is to use Shavuot coloring pages. Kids enjoy the simple activity and the free printable Shavuot coloring pages are a great jumping-off point for purposeful conversations with my children.
As your child works on their Shavuot color sheet, use the opportunity to ask them open-ended questions about the holiday. Here are a few questions you can use to spark discussion with your kids:
What is Shavuot?
When is Shavuot celebrated?
Why is Shavuot also called the “Festival of Weeks”?
How long does Shavuot last?
What are some traditional foods eaten during Shavuot?
Why do some people stay up all night studying on Shavuot?
What is the significance of Mount Sinai in the story of Shavuot?
What are some customs or traditions associated with Shavuot?
How do people celebrate Shavuot around the world?
What is the connection between Shavuot and the giving of the Torah (the Ten Commandments)?
10 Commandments Activities for Kids
Speaking of the giving of the Torah, the Shema Culture blog features several 10 Commandments activities for kids. Your children will love the 10 Commandments scavenger hunt, matching game, coloring pages, crafts, and more! I love teaching my kids about the 10 Commandments with fun and engaging crafts, games, and activities. As a former preschool teacher, I have found that interactive learning helps children retain information far better than other learning strategies. As a mama, I want my kids to enjoy learning. That means that it is my job to make sure learning is fun!
The 10 Commandments activities found here on the blog are fun for kids. In addition, they are easy for parents and teachers to implement, so it’s a win-win! Most crafts, games, and activities on the Shema Culture blog require minimal supplies you probably have around your home. What’s more, I offer many free printables on the blog, so within a few minutes parents and teachers can quickly print an activity and be ready to go in no time!

Free Printable Shavuot Coloring Pages
These free printable Shavuot coloring pages are fun on their own. However, with a few simple craft supplies, children can use them to get extra creative! Scissors, glue sticks, yarn, and a hole punch can take a simple color sheet from ordinary to extraordinary. For example, these Shavuot color sheets can be glued to colorful construction paper to make Shavuot posters. Kids will love using their artwork to decorate for the holiday.
In addition, punch a hole in the top of the coloring sheets mounted on construction paper. Thread some yarn through the top and tie a knot to make a hanger. Just like your child has hanging art they will be excited to display!
How to Celebrate Shavuot with Kids: Storytelling, Baking, and Crafts
In addition to these Shavuot coloring pages, there are a million-and-one ways to celebrate this special holiday with kids. Here are just a few ideas:
Storytelling: Share the story of Shavuot with your kids in a fun and hands-on way. You can use picture books, storytelling videos, or act out the story together. Use materials from around your home to create DIY costumes for acting out the giving of the Torah. Or plan a family movie night with popcorn and watch a YouTube video about Shavuot. Whatever you do, let your creativity run wild!
Baking: Get creative in the kitchen by baking Shavuot-themed treats, such as dairy-based desserts like cheesecake, blintzes, or cheese-filled pastries. Encourage your child to mix ingredients and enjoy the art of making yummy food.
Crafts: Have a Shavuot-themed craft session where kids can make decorations like paper flowers to symbolize the blooming of flowers on Mount Sinai during the giving of the Torah. You can also create paper Torah scrolls or Ten Commandments tablets.
Celebrating Shavuot With Children
Outdoor Picnic: Plan a family picnic in a park or garden to celebrate the harvest aspect of Shavuot. Pack a basket with dairy snacks like cheese, yogurt, and fruit, and enjoy a meal surrounded by nature.
Learning Torah: Engage kids in learning about the significance of Shavuot and the giving of the Torah. You can read kid-friendly versions of the Ten Commandments, watch educational videos about the holiday, or play games that teach about the Torah.
Planting: Connect with the agricultural aspect of Shavuot by planting seeds or small plants together. Discuss how Shavuot is also a celebration of the first fruits of the harvest and the importance of caring for the land.
Community Service: Encourage kids to perform acts of kindness and community service in honor of Shavuot. This could include making cards for elderly neighbors, donating food to a local food bank, or participating in a neighborhood clean-up.
Music and Dance: Have a Shavuot dance party with lively worship music and traditional folk dances. Teach kids simple dance steps or let them freestyle to the music.
Family Torah Reading: Read Exodus 19-20 as a family and involve the kids by allowing them to participate in the reading and discuss the meanings of the passages together.
Virtual Connections: If you have family or friends who live far away, organize a virtual Shavuot celebration where kids can connect with loved ones via video call, share stories, and exchange blessings for the holiday.
These activities can help make Shavuot a memorable and meaningful experience for kids and their families!
