Coloring order

Start with Daniel's green robe, his white tunic and the rocky floor where he kneels.
Color the manes and fur of the resting lions in amber and brown, and make the lion lying in front a little lighter.
Blend the beams of light from above in pale yellow, and color the cave rocks in gray-brown last.

Questions to talk about

Why do you think the lions are resting so quietly?
What is Daniel saying with his hands held open?
When you feel scared or worried, how do you help yourself feel calm?

Take it further

In Daniel 6 Daniel prays peacefully even inside the lions' den. Draw a lion face on a paper plate and glue on yellow paper strips for a calmly resting lion.

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.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
