Teaching the Resurrection Story
These coloring sheets help children visualize the events of Easter morning. As kids color the heavy stone rolled away from the cave entrance, teachers can discuss the biblical narrative of the Resurrection.
The pages showing the folded burial linens left on the stone shelf offer a quiet focus for older children, while the joyful scenes in Angels and Followers at the Tomb work well for younger kids learning about Mary and the disciples.
Coloring the Garden Tomb
The setting of the empty tomb gives colorists a chance to blend dark cave interiors with bright morning light. Using yellows and oranges for the sunrise creates a strong contrast against the gray limestone of the tomb. You can add soft greens and pinks to the garden scenes, especially where Easter lilies frame the entrance.
- Use dark blues and purples for the shadows inside the empty cave.
- Highlight the heavenly messengers with bright white and pale yellow tones.
- Color the wooden crosses on the hill in the background with textured browns.
Empty Tomb Crafts and Activities
Beyond simple coloring, these printables can be turned into interactive Easter crafts. Children can cut out a separate circle of gray construction paper and attach it with a brass fastener to create a movable stone over the tomb entrance.
The designs featuring bold text in our He Is Risen section also make excellent covers for handmade greeting cards to share with family.
