Only three loaves show in this basket. Draw two more so it matches the "five barley loaves and two fish" of John 6, then count the bread and fish one by one together.
Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.
