Climbing a Tree to See Jesus, Bible Coloring Page
Coloring guide
Up on a thick tree branch, a smiling bearded man in a head wrap leans forward to peek down at a long-haired, bearded man standing below. The man on the ground wears a long robe with a sash and sandals, and holds one hand out as if he's speaking to the one in the tree. Big maple-shaped leaves fill the branches. A winding path runs past rounded bushes to a small village of flat-roofed buildings with arched doorways, and grass tufts and shrubs sit up front. It's a free printable that suits Bible story time, Sunday school or a quiet afternoon at home. Soft greens and browns work well for the leaves and trunk. A gentle cream or light blue on the robe helps the figures stand out from the village behind them. More like this: explore the Jesus / Bible, Matryoshka Dolls and Hawaiian coloring page collections.
