Getting ready
Age & adult help
The reviewed multi-page packs have detailed scenes and printed story or verse text, rather than only large preschool shapes.
Select a picture to suit the child and read any text aloud. Younger children can colour larger areas without completing every small detail.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper, colouring pencils or crayons. No cutting or gluing is assumed for a colouring sheet.
Time & preparation
Whole six-page colouring pack. Estimate 10–20 minutes per page; pages can be split across lessons.
Age is an editorial estimate for the motor and reading demands of this format. Difficulty, completion time and suggested tools are planning estimates, not build-tested.
Check the file before you print for a group, and allow for any extra help the kids might need.
Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Luke 8:4–15
Jesus tells of seed landing on a path, rocky ground, thorns and good soil. He explains these as different responses to God’s word, with lasting fruit linked to hearing and persevering.
Main takeaway: The sower’s parable asks how we listen and respond over time.
While you colour
Choose one illustration and read the part of the passage it represents.
Compare the four places the seed falls and what happens in each. Ask about distractions and patient attention without assigning children fixed labels like bad soil.
With younger learners, name the visible people and actions together. Older learners can compare the picture with the passage and distinguish the text from an illustrator’s added details.
Questions to explore
- Where did the seed struggle to grow?
- What was different about the good soil?
- What helps us keep listening when we are distracted?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download is a 6-page PDF: 26_ParableoftheSower_Matthew13Mark4Luke8.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
Do I need to make a model?
These are six separate illustrated colouring sheets. Choose a scene to colour and discuss, or use the sheets over several sessions. They are flat pages, so no cutting or assembly is required. For a Bible reading to accompany this activity, use Luke 8:4–15.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 landscape. 26_ParableoftheSower_Matthew13Mark4Luke8.pdf: print the pages you want to use for each learner or group. Print single-sided. On US Letter paper, select Letter and Fit or shrink to the printable area; the originals are not separate Letter-sized files.
What supplies and preparation does this need?
Ordinary printer paper and colouring pencils or crayons. Choose one sheet at a time rather than expecting children to finish all six in one sitting.
What help might children need with this activity?
Suggested ages: 5–12 years. Select a picture to suit the child and read any text aloud. Younger children can colour larger areas without completing every small detail. Adjust this guide for the child’s reading and making skills.
