Tapestry of Faith, Wonderful Welcome, Session 16 JPEG illustration for A Barn-raising in the City

Coloring Sheets for K-1 Stories!

Two Tapestry of Faith programs, Creating Home and Wonderful Welcome, now provide a black-and-white, original illustration to use as a coloring sheet for each core story. Invite kindergarten/1st grade children to color while they hear a story. Or, have them color afterward to revisit the characters and what happened.

Online, each illustration is presented alongside its story so that you can download and copy the single sheet. Also, a multi-page packet of drawings is available for all the stories in Creating Home (PDF, 18 pages) and another for all the stories in Wonderful Welcome (PDF, 17 pages).
