Coloring order

Start with Noah's brown robe, cream tunic and teal sash, then color the wooden deck under his feet along the grain in brown.
Give the white dove on his hand, the giraffes peeking out of the window and the sheep below them each a different color.
Color the rainbow one band at a time from the outside in, then finish the sea on the right and the faraway mountains in blues.

Questions to talk about

What do you think the dove on Noah's hand is saying?
What kind of day did the giraffes and sheep have inside the ark?
Have you ever made a promise and kept it all the way through?

Take it further

In Genesis 9 the rainbow is a sign of a promise. Color paper strips to make a rainbow, then draw or write one promise you want to keep.

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.
