Summer always feels a little chaotic at my house in the best way 😅 Between kids being home more, wanting snacks every five minutes, and trying to find activities that don’t involve a screen, I’m always looking for simple things my kids can sit down and enjoy.

Ways to Use These Christian Coloring Pages

There are so many different ways to use these coloring pages:

  • Quiet afternoons at home – These coloring pages are perfect for those slower summer afternoons when kids need something simple, creative, and screen-free to do.
  • Church classes – Use them during Sunday School, Bible lessons, or children’s church as an easy activity that keeps little hands busy while reinforcing faith-filled messages.

  • Summer camps – These pages work great for Christian summer camps, VBS, or youth activities when you need a low-prep craft kids can enjoy.
  • Road trips – Print a stack and keep them in the car for an easy travel activity that helps pass the time without screens.
  • Restaurants – Bring a few coloring pages and crayons along to restaurants to keep kids entertained while waiting for food.
  • Waiting rooms – Coloring pages are an easy way to help kids stay calm and occupied during doctor appointments or long waits.
  • Sunday activities – These are great for quiet Sunday afternoons when you want a relaxing activity that still points kids back to faith and scripture.
  • Keeping kids busy during summer break – Sometimes you just need something easy to pull out when boredom hits, and printable coloring pages are one of the simplest ways to keep kids happily occupied for a little while 😅

From there, you can print the pages at home or save them for later. I usually recommend printing on cardstock if your kids are heavy-handed with markers, but regular printer paper works great too. You can even print multiple copies so siblings (or let’s be honest… adults too 😅) can color their favorites more than once.

Supplies We Love for Coloring

Here are some simple supplies that can make a huge difference, that we know and love:

Bible Verses That Work Great for Summer Coloring Pages

These verses pair well with some of the phrases used on the coloring pages. You could discuss them as they color, just as a reminder that God loves us and is always there.

From the Bible:

  • Jesus lights the way → John 8:12
  • Jesus refreshes my heart → John 4:14
  • Faith shines bright → Matthew 5:16
  • Jesus makes life sweet → Psalm 34:8

Tips for Printing Coloring Pages at Home

Here are some simple tips for these summer coloring pages: 

  • Cardstock vs printer paper – Regular printer paper works perfectly fine for everyday coloring, but cardstock is great if you want the pages to feel sturdier or hold up better with markers and heavy coloring. Cardstock also works really well if kids want to display their finished pages afterward.
  • Printing multiple copies – One of the best things about printable coloring pages is being able to print extras whenever you need them. I love having extra copies on hand for siblings, playdates, church activities, or when a child wants to color the same page again in completely different colors 😅

  • Making a coloring binder – Slide finished or blank coloring pages into sheet protectors inside a binder to create an easy grab-and-go activity book for summer. Kids love flipping through and choosing their own pages, and it helps keep everything organized in one place.
  • Laminating pages – Laminating coloring pages can make them reusable when paired with dry erase markers. This is especially fun for younger kids who enjoy coloring the same pictures over and over again, and it helps the pages last much longer.
  • Using them for travel activities – Keep a small folder or clipboard stocked with coloring pages and crayons for road trips, airplane rides, restaurants, appointments, or summer errands. They’re one of the easiest low-mess activities to throw in a bag when you need something quick to keep kids entertained.
