This Is the Day coloring page: the words "This is the day the Lord has made" in large bubble letters across the top, a big sun rising behind rolling hills with long rays filling the sky, two cheerful birds singing on a leafy branch with music notes above them, a winding path through the fields, and clouds and flowers around the edges

The story behind this page

From the Bible

Psalm 118:24

World English Bible, public domain

24This is the day that the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!

Good to know

Questions parents ask

When is a good time to use this coloring page?

Morning is the natural fit: it makes a lovely breakfast-table activity, a first-day-of-school tradition, or a Sunday morning warm-up before church. Some families hang the finished page by the bed so it's the first thing their child sees each day.

The page says "has made" but my Bible says "hath made." Which is right?

Both. The King James Version of 1611 reads "This is the day which the LORD hath made," and the drawing uses the gently modernized wording children sing in the well-known Sunday school song. The meaning is identical; it's simply older and newer English for the same joyful sentence.

What ages is this page good for?

Ages 3 to 9. The long sun rays and big letters are easy wins for the youngest colorers, while the birds, branch, and flower borders reward kids who like to take their time.

Can I print copies for my class or playgroup?

Yes, the PDF is free to download and print in whatever quantity you need for Sunday school, preschool, MOPS, or homeschool. It pairs perfectly with singing the 'This Is the Day' song together.
