Jesus Welcomes Five Children, One Holding a Flower

Coloring guide
Here a long-haired, bearded man in a flowing robe and sandals sits on a rock in a grassy spot and smiles warmly at the five children around him. A little girl with long hair is on his knee, looking up at his face. On the right, a boy in shorts and sneakers stands holding out a small flower with a stem and leaves. A curly-haired girl leans in behind them with a big grin. On the left, a curly-haired boy peeks over a shoulder, and a girl in a dress with a hair bow kneels on the ground gazing up. Behind everyone you'll see a leafy tree, rolling hills and little tufts of grass. There are lots of big shapes for small hands, and the long robe is easy to fill in. Soft blue or creamy white works for the robe, bright yellow or pink for the flower, and green for the tree and hillside. Good for Sunday school or a quiet afternoon at home.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the big red robe: fill Jesus' lap and the long sash down his front with brick red, leaving the folds between them for later.
- 2Fill the outdoor scene next: color the tree leaves, grass and bushes with lime green and grass green, and the distant hills with soft teal.
- 3Color the cream tunic on Jesus, then fill all the faces and hands with light peach, leaving the eye whites and the small shine spots white.
- 4Add the hair: chestnut brown for Jesus, dark brown for the left boy, caramel brown for the middle girl, golden yellow for the blonde girl, tangerine orange for the curly-haired girl and light brown for the right boy.
- 5Dress the children: grass green for the right boy's shirt, ocean blue for both boys' shorts and the left boy's shirt, soft pink for the middle girl's dress, lemon yellow for the blonde girl's dress and lavender purple for the curly-haired girl's top.
- 6Optional: add a little medium gray on the rock behind them and leave the sock and shoe laces white to finish.
