Free Mark 10:14 Colouring Page for Kids – Let the Little Children Come to Me

Description

This colouring worksheet features the inspiring scripture from the Gospel of Mark (10:14) — “Let the little children come to me.” It’s a perfect tool for children to engage creatively and reflectively with the idea that Jesus welcomes children and invites them into His presence. Whether used in Sunday School, homeschool lessons or simply fun time at home, this printable helps kids visualise the message of belonging and welcome.

What’s Inside

Here’s what your worksheet contains:

• The heading/verse text: “Let the little children come to me.” (Mark 10:14)

• A scene showing children approaching Jesus (or a placeholder figure) with open arms and welcoming posture.

• Simple outlines and large spaces for children to colour.

• Clouds, rays, or a background design that emphasises openness and welcome.

• A clear reference to the verse so kids learn the scripture as they colour.

Why It’s Useful

• Scripture memorisation & reflection: Children see and colour the verse, helping them internalise the message that Jesus values and welcomes them.

• Inclusivity & belonging: The theme of “children being invited” fosters feelings of worth and acceptance — especially important in faith-teaching contexts.

• Visual & creative learning: Some children learn best through images and active art; colouring engages both hands and hearts.

• Flexible use: Great for children’s ministry settings, homeschool, or even a quiet afternoon at home.

• Age-adaptable: Younger children benefit from simple colouring tasks; older children can be prompted to discuss what it means to be “welcomed” by Jesus, or draw additional elements.

How to Use It

Here’s a step-by-step guide to using the worksheet:

1. Print the worksheet on A4 or letter size, using good quality paper for crayon/marker use.

2. Read the verse aloud: “Let the little children come to me.” Explain that Jesus said this because He loves children and wants them to be close to Him.

3. Discuss the image: Ask questions like: Who is coming to Jesus? What might Jesus’ arms mean when they are open? How does it feel to be welcomed?

4. Colouring time: Let the children choose colours and fill the worksheet. Encourage them to use bright, welcoming colours — perhaps a radiant background, cheerful kids, friendly clouds.

5. Memory and reflection: After colouring, encourage a short reflection: What does it mean for you that Jesus welcomes you? How can you make others feel welcome like Jesus did?

6. Display and share: Have children display their coloured pages in a classroom, at home or church bulletin board. It reinforces the affirmation of the message.

7. Extension activity (optional): Ask children to write or draw one way they can show welcome to someone else — a friend, sibling or newcomer — mirroring the welcome Jesus gave.

This “Let the Little Children Come to Me” colouring page is a meaningful and engaging tool for helping children learn that they are welcome, valued and loved by Jesus. It blends creativity, scripture and reflection — perfect for church, home, or school. Encourage your kids to print it, colour it, reflect on the verse—and feel the joy of being close to Jesus!
