    About this printable

    The Ark of the Covenant from Exodus 25 — a decorated chest with two winged cherubim on top facing each other, ready to be colored gold and bright jewel tones. The KJV verse anchors the page.

    Why this printable matters

    The The Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 25) is one of the stories children remember for life. A coloring page gives them ten quiet minutes to sit with it — to handle each part of the scene with their own crayon, to ask the small questions that lead to bigger ones, and to take something home that anchors the lesson on the fridge for a week. That is the simple goal of this printable: turn a Bible story into a memory that lives in their hands as well as their head. Print a stack for your Sunday school classroom, slip one into a children's church bulletin, or use it on a quiet Sunday afternoon at home. The KJV verse at the bottom of the page (Exodus 25:22) gives parents and teachers a natural prompt for conversation while the coloring is happening — read it aloud once before the crayons come out, and again when the page is done.

    "And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony."
    Exodus 25:22

    How to use this printable

    1. 1

      Print on regular paper

      Standard 20 lb printer paper works perfectly for crayons and colored pencils. For markers, choose 28 lb or heavier so the ink doesn't bleed through.

    2. 2

      Read the verse aloud first

      Before the crayons come out, read Exodus 25:22 once together. It takes ten seconds and frames the whole activity.

    3. 3

      Ask one question while they color

      Pick a single, simple question tied to the scene — 'who was brave in this story?', 'what is God promising here?' — and let the answers come at the pace of the page.

    4. 4

      Display the finished page

      Fridge, classroom wall, children's-church bulletin board. A coloring page on display becomes a week-long reminder of the lesson.

    5. 5

      Print a stack for class

      Sunday school teachers and VBS leaders are welcome to print as many copies as needed. No watermark, no permission required.

    6. 6

      Pair with the matching story

      Read the full story from Exodus 25 after the page is finished, or before — whichever holds your class's attention best.
