More About This Activity
This colouring page features the comforting verse Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” It’s an engaging and faith-filled activity for children to colour, reflect on God’s invitation of rest, and internalise the promise that Jesus offers relief and peace. Ideal for Sunday School, homeschool, children’s ministry or just a quiet faith moment at home.
What’s inside
On this worksheet children will find:
-
Large bold lettering of the phrase: “Come to me, all who are weary. Matthew 11:28” — easy for younger children to read and colour.
-
A visual illustration (in the sheet you provided) of a child in a scene of weariness (sitting under a tree, rays of light behind) to help them visualise the concept of rest being offered.
-
Simple outlines and shapes (tree, figure, sun-rays, background ground) suitable for elementary age colouring skill.
-
Generous blank space so children can choose their own colours, add patterns or decorations, make it personal.
Why it’s useful
-
Reinforces Scripture memory & meaning: This verse is one of the most inviting passages of Jesus, offering rest to the weary.
-
Encourages reflection & discussion: Kids can discuss what it means to be weary or burdened, how Jesus offers rest, and what “rest” might look like in their life now (for example, when they are worried, anxious or tired).
-
Supports fine-motor skills & creativity: Colouring helps children develop focus, coordination, and gives a sense of accomplishment as they complete the page.
-
Versatile for age groups:
-
Younger children can simply colour while hearing the verse read aloud.
-
Older children can reflect, journal or draw about a “burden” they want to give to God and what rest might mean.
-
-
Great for group or home settings: Use as part of a session on worry/faith, Jesus’ invitation, or simply as a take-home reminder of God’s care.
How to use it
-
Print the worksheet on standard A4 or US Letter size.
-
Introduce the verse: Read Matthew 11:28 together: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Then explain simply what “weary” or “burdened” means and how Jesus invites all of us.
-
Colour time: Let children choose colours for the figure, tree, rays, background, letters. Encourage them to think quietly about something that is “weighing” on them (friendship, school, worry) and imagine giving it to Jesus.
-
Discussion/reflection prompts: After they colour, you could ask:
-
What kinds of things make people feel weary or burdened?
-
What does “rest” from Jesus look like or feel like?
-
How can you bring your worries or burdens to Jesus this week?
-
-
Display or take-home: Hang the finished sheets in the room, classroom, or send them home so kids can remember the promise when they feel tired or worried.
-
Optional extension:
-
Have children write or draw something they will bring to Jesus for rest (on a separate slip or on the back).
-
Use this sheet alongside a small devotional: talk about how Jesus also said “My yoke is easy, my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:29-30)
-
Create a quiet “rest corner” where children reflect with their colouring to think about what rest in Jesus means.
