8 Free Printable Joshua and Jericho Coloring Page

The Walls Come Tumbling Down (And the Crayons Come Out)

If there is one Bible story that gets my four kids hyped up, it’s Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. There is shouting, there are trumpets, and there is a massive demolition project. In our house, re-enacting this usually involves building a tower of pillows and knocking it over while screaming. It’s fun, but it’s chaotic.

Sometimes, though, you need to channel that "walls falling down" energy into something a bit quieter. I built Bible Sketch because I was tired of searching for high-quality bible coloring pages that were actually safe for my printer and engaging for my kids. Whether you are teaching a Sunday School class of energetic six-year-olds or just need a rainy day activity, these sheets capture the excitement of Joshua 6 without the noise level of actual ram's horns.

Key Takeaways:

Scripture Centered: All pages are based on Joshua 6:4 and 6:20.
Age Adaptive: Options range from simple lines for Toddlers (3yo) to detailed scenes for older kids (9yo).
Skill Building: Great for fine motor skills and narrative sequencing.
Print Ready: High-contrast black and white for easy home printing.

1. The Priests and Trumpets: Classic Sunday School Style

Reference: Joshua 6:4 Best For: Toddlers & Preschoolers (Ages 3-5)

This scene focuses on the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns. For toddlers, we need simple, clear lines without too much background noise. This allows them to focus on the main subjects—the priests and their instruments.

Why I Love This One:

Toddlers are still developing their pincer grasp. If a drawing is too intricate, they get frustrated and just scribble over the whole thing. This design has nice, broad areas for the robes and the trumpets. It’s perfect for breaking out the fat crayons. Plus, you can teach them the word "Obedience"—marching when God says march.

2. The March Begins: Detailed Sunday School Scene

Reference: Joshua 6:4 Best For: Young Children (Ages 6-8)

Here we have a slightly more detailed interpretation of the procession before the Ark. The lines are finer, requiring a bit more hand-eye coordination. This fits perfectly into a standard Sunday School curriculum where you have 15 minutes of table time after the lesson.

Why I Love This One:

This style is great for storytelling. As they color the priests, you can ask them, "Why do you think God asked them to be quiet while they marched?" It turns the activity from passive coloring into a moment of "slow theology" where they dwell on the strangeness and wonder of God’s plan.

3. Trumpets Blasting: Comic Book Action

Reference: Joshua 6:4 Best For: High-Energy Kids (Ages 5-9)

Let’s be honest: this is an action story. This "Comic Book" style uses dynamic angles and bold inking to capture the intensity of the moment just before the shout.

Why I Love This One:

If you have a reluctant artist—usually a boy who thinks coloring is "boring"—try this style. It feels more like a graphic novel than a worksheet. My 7-year-old loves these because he can use bright, bold markers to make the trumpets look loud.

4. Sacred Preparation: Stained Glass Art

Reference: Joshua 6:4 Best For: Quiet Time & Concentration (Ages 6-9)

Sometimes you want to slow the pace way down. This stained glass style turns the verse into a mosaic. It requires focus and patience to color inside the distinct segments.

Why I Love This One:

I use this one when the house is too loud. The segmented nature of the art forces the brain to slow down. It’s almost a meditative practice for children. It looks fantastic taped to a sunny window once it's finished—the light shines through the colored marker like real glass.

5. The Crash: Toddler Edition

Reference: Joshua 6:20 Best For: Toddlers (Ages 3-5)

"And the wall fell down flat." This illustration captures the moment of impact but keeps it soft and safe for younger eyes. It’s not scary; it’s triumphant.

Why I Love This One:

For a 3-year-old, the concept of a city wall falling is abstract. Seeing the stones tumbling helps them visualize the miracle. I love asking my youngest, "Who pushed the wall? Was it Joshua, or was it God?" It’s a simple theology lesson wrapped in a coloring page.

6. The Victory: Sunday School Narrative

Reference: Joshua 6:20 Best For: Young Children (Ages 5-8)

This is your "fridge-worthy" classic coloring page. It shows the people shouting and the walls crumbling. It offers a good balance of character detail and environmental destruction (which the kids love).

Why I Love This One:

Notice the posture of the characters—they are shouting and praising. It’s a great opportunity to talk about how the battle was won through praise and obedience, not just swords. It’s crisp, clean, and prints perfectly on standard copy paper.

7. Dynamic Destruction: Comic Style

Reference: Joshua 6:20 Best For: Older Children (Ages 7-9)

This one captures the sheer scale of the event. The comic style emphasizes the motion of the falling stones and the sound of the shout.

Why I Love This One:

This is for the kid who loves LEGOs and building things. They understand structure. Coloring the debris and the dust clouds gives them a creative outlet for that "destruction" energy in a healthy way.

8. The Miracle: Stained Glass Finale

Reference: Joshua 6:20 Best For: Art Projects & Keepsakes Style: Stained Glass - Young Child

A beautiful, artistic rendering of the walls coming down. This is less about the action and more about the beauty of God’s power.

Why I Love This One:

This makes for a beautiful cover for a lesson binder or a gift for a grandparent. The complexity of the shattered wall segments works perfectly with the stained glass aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I print these for my entire Sunday School class?

Absolutely. We built the Commercial Rights directly into the platform. Whether you have 5 kids in a homeschool co-op or 50 kids in Children's Church, you can print as many copies as you need. We just want the Word to be dwelling in their hearts (and hands).

Are the images historically accurate?

We strive for "Biblical faithfulness." Our AI is trained to respect the text, but as I always tell parents: Trust but verify. I view these images as "Midrash"—imaginative interpretations that help us engage with the text. They are tools for discipleship, not archeological diagrams.

How do I get the best print quality?

These images are generated in high resolution. For the "Stained Glass" or "Comic" styles, I recommend making sure your printer is set to "Best" quality rather than "Draft." If you are using markers, regular copy paper is fine, but cardstock prevents bleed-through and makes the art feel special.
