Create My Child's PageAbout this coloring page
Young Joseph stands proudly in the center of this page wearing a long, striped coat that goes almost to his ankles. The coat has many panels — perfect for kids to use every color in their box without anything looking out of place. His brothers stand off to the side in plainer tunics, and you can read their expressions even in line art: some curious, some clearly unhappy. A few sheep wander in the background, reminding viewers that this family worked the land together. The page captures the moment the coat is given, before anything goes wrong, which makes it a softer entry point into a story that gets harder later.
Suggested Scripture: Genesis 37:3 (NIV) — Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate robe for him.
The page is designed as a printable Christian coloring activity that can support a short Bible conversation, a family devotional moment, or a calm classroom activity.

Create a personalized Jesus coloring pageTeaching ideas for parents and teachers
- Before coloring, tell kids they can use as many colors as they want on Joseph's coat — but only two colors total on the brothers' clothes. Ask afterward how that felt.
- For ages 5–7: focus on the gift, not the jealousy yet. Ask, "Has someone ever given you something special? How did it feel?"
- For Sunday school: this page is a setup for the bigger Joseph story. Ask, "Was the coat the real problem, or was something else going on in this family?"
- For family devotion: read Genesis 37:1–11. Talk about favoritism — both giving it and receiving it — and how it can quietly hurt a family.
Print and activity tips
- Color each stripe on the coat a different color, even ones that don't usually go together — that's the whole point.
- Use the same color palette for the brothers' clothes that you used for the background, to make Joseph stand out even more.
- After coloring, write the names of Joseph's eleven brothers on the back. Most kids only know one or two — it's a small way to show this was a big family.
Discussion questions
- Why do you think Jacob gave the coat only to Joseph and not to his brothers too?
- If you were one of the older brothers, how do you think you'd feel?
- Joseph also had dreams that bothered his brothers. Was it wrong for him to share those dreams?
- What's the difference between being loved more and being loved differently?
- The Joseph story gets really hard after this page. Do you know what happens next?
