Create My Child's PageAbout this coloring page
A large stone has been rolled away from the entrance of a tomb carved into a rocky hillside. The tomb's interior is empty except for the burial cloths lying neatly folded inside. The sky is just beginning to lighten with the colors of dawn — pink, gold, and the last hint of purple. A few flowers have started to bloom near the path leading up to the tomb. There are no people in this page yet; the moment captured is right before anyone arrives. The simplicity of the scene is the point — what's missing matters more than what's there. Soft textures in the rocks and flowers give kids gentle things to color while the empty tomb dominates the composition.
Suggested Scripture: Matthew 28:6 (NIV) — He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
The page is designed as a printable Christian coloring activity that can support a short Bible conversation, a family devotional moment, or a calm classroom activity.

Create a personalized Jesus coloring pageTeaching ideas for parents and teachers
- Before coloring, just look at the page and ask, "What's missing?" That's the whole story.
- For ages 5–7: keep it simple and joyful. Jesus was dead, and now He's not. The tomb is empty because Jesus is alive again.
- For Sunday school: focus on the burial cloths being folded neatly. The Bible specifically mentions this. Ask, "Why do you think Jesus took time to fold the cloth before leaving?"
- For family devotion: read John 20:1–10. Ask, "If you had been the first person to look in that morning, what would you have done?"
Print and activity tips
- Color the dawn sky in horizontal layers of color — pink at the bottom, gold in the middle, pale blue at the top — to capture the early morning.
- Leave the inside of the tomb almost uncolored or use only the lightest gray. The emptiness is the point.
- Add small bright flowers along the path — yellow, white, and purple — to suggest spring and resurrection.
Discussion questions
- The tomb was empty, but it didn't stay empty by accident. What had to happen for it to be empty?
- The burial cloths were folded neatly. What does that detail tell you about the kind of God we have?
- If you had been one of the women who came that morning, would you have believed it right away — or run to get someone?
- Jesus rose at dawn, the very beginning of a new day. Why do you think God chose that timing?
- What does it mean for you, today, that the tomb is still empty?
