Everyday Kindness: 4-Page Coloring Book & Kids Discussion Guide

Use these coloring pages to help children discover kindness in everyday life. More than ever, kids need to see examples of kindness. It's not enough to say, "BE KIND." We all need practical examples for modern living. Our artists have included diversity in the facial shapes, but we recommend skin tone crayons to make it obvious. You can use our questions and responses as a guide. There are many right answers, the point is to help children think about the meaning of kindness. For a more in-depth study, see our Kids 4 Kindness: 4-Week Children's Ministry Curriculum.

Ephesians 4:32 NIV  Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
