Free James 1:17 Colouring Page – Every Good & Perfect Gift

Description

This worksheet features the verse from James 1:17 — “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights.” — giving children a meaningful, visual way to engage with the truth that all good things come from God. It works wonderfully for Sunday School, children’s ministry, homeschool, or faith-based art time.

What’s inside

Here’s what children will find in this colouring sheet:

• Bold, large text of the key phrase: “EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE. James 1:17” — easy for younger children to read and colour.

• A simple graphic showing hands holding up a gift box, surrounded by rays of light; the imagery reinforces the idea of a “gift from above.”

• Clean outlines and child-friendly shapes (gift box, rays, clouds or curved hill) that make colouring enjoyable and accessible.

• Ample white space for children to choose colours, personalise the background, add details or decorate the gift box themselves.

Why it’s useful

• Promotes Scripture memory & reflection: The visual presentation of James 1:17 helps children remember what the verse says and consider what “good and perfect gifts” might be in their lives.

• Encourages gratitude & theological reflection: The verse teaches that everything good comes from God and highlights His unchanging nature.

• Supports fine-motor skills & creative expression: Colouring helps children develop focus, coordination and creativity as they choose palette and design.

• Works well for a range of ages: Younger kids can simply colour and say the verse; older children can discuss what kinds of gifts from God they’ve received, or write one gift they’re thankful for.

• Flexible for classroom or home use: Use it during a lesson about God’s generosity, during quiet time, as a take-home sheet or as part of a “thankfulness” project.

How to use it

1. Print the worksheet in standard size (A4 or letter).

2. Introduce the verse: Read James 1:17 together — e.g., “Every good and perfect gift is from above…” and explain that the “Father of lights” means God, who gives good gifts and doesn’t change.

3. Colour the page: Let children pick colours for the gift, rays of light, background and lettering. Encourage them to think of one “gift” from God while they colour.

4. Discussion / reflection: Ask questions such as:

   • What are some “good and perfect gifts” you have?

   • Who gives you good gifts?

   • How can we show thanks when we recognise God as the giver?

5. Display or take home: Children can hang their finished colouring sheet in the classroom or at home to remind them of the truth of the verse.

6. Optional extension:

   • Invite children to write or draw one specific gift from God that they are thankful for around the image’s border.

   • Use this sheet as part of a “gratitude wall” in Sunday School: collect children’s reflections about gifts from God.

   • Connect it with a lesson on how God’s character doesn’t change and He is the source of all that is good.
