Estimated time: 30–45 min
Difficulty: Medium
Areas to color: about 170

Coloring order

Begin with Jesus standing in the boat with open arms: his white robe, blue shawl and brown sash.
Give each disciple gripping the mast a different headcloth and tunic, and color the wooden hull and thick ropes brown.
Last, alternate deep blue and sky blue on the big waves below, and pale yellow for the sunbeams breaking through the clouds.

Questions to talk about

How did the disciples feel in the boat when the waves were so big?
What changed in the sky and sea when Jesus lifted his hand?
When were you scared and then felt calm again? What helped?

Take it further

Shake a blue cloth or sheet of paper to make waves, then show the sea slowly calming with your body. Plan together how big motions shrink into small ones.

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.

The black-and-white line art you print and color, drawn with wide areas and clear outlines for children.

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.
