Coloring George MacDonald
When I was a Director of Children’s Ministry for a church the kids absolutely loved coloring the pages from the Narnia coloring book as I read them The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I thought it would be a great idea to ask an artist to draw coloring pages for the children’s stories by George MacDonald. Children are visual learners, and many of the kids in my church were fidgety when I read to them. So I started having them color while I read them C.S. Lewis. My own kids amazingly sat still, listened, and remembered the MacDonald children’s stories I had read to them. So I thought it would it be a great idea to have a visual aid that might prompt questions and interest in the stories. The pages below were inspired by The Princess and Curdie, The Princess and the Goblin, Little Daylight, The Light Princess, and At the Back of the North Wind.
