Open shapes to begin with
The basket floating among reeds and water lilies has only a few large areas. Joseph’s coat is a column of bands, so it works well for trying one stripe per color.

Things to make with your old testament coloring pages
Retell Noah’s story in three pictures
Print the ark being built, the animals boarding and the rainbow over the ark after the flood. Use the same wood color in all three, lay them out in order and tell what happens between each picture.
Color a coat in rainbow order
On Joseph’s coat, follow the rainbow from red to violet down the bands, then start again at the top. Compare it with a second copy colored only in warm shades or only in cool ones.
Make a story card for each page
Choose a finished picture and fold a small card to stand beside it. Write the story’s name and the book of the Bible it comes from, so a class or family can match each picture to its reading.
Each picture is an individual vector PDF. Print on US Letter, or choose “Fit to page” for A4. Try one copy first to check the margins.

Questions about old testament coloring pages
Is there a Noah's ark coloring page with the animals boarding?
Yes. Giraffes, elephants, lions and zebras walk up a wooden ramp into the ark under a rainbow. Two more pages follow the same story: Noah hammering planks beside the half-built hull, and the finished ark resting on a mountaintop with a rainbow and a dove carrying an olive branch.

Which Old Testament pages show Moses?
Moses appears on four pages: as a baby in a woven basket among river reeds, kneeling beside the burning bush with his sandals set aside, holding up his staff as the sea parts into two walls of water, and standing on a mountain with two stone tablets.

Are there coloring pages of David from the Old Testament?
Two pages show David. In one, young David faces the armored giant Goliath with a sling in his hand and a spear and shield towering over him. In the other, he sits on a rock playing a harp while sheep graze around him.
