About this coloring page

A line of workers stands before a landowner who is handing out wages. The workers who arrived last are at the front of the line, receiving the same pay as those who worked all day. Some of the all-day workers at the back of the line are looking at each other with crossed arms and frustrated expressions. The vineyard stretches out behind them, rows of grapevines heavy with fruit. This page captures the parable of the workers in the vineyard — one of Jesus' most challenging stories about grace, fairness, and God's generosity. The workers' varied expressions, the vineyard rows, and the landowner's calm posture give kids a page full of human tension.

Suggested Scripture: Matthew 20:16 (NIV) — So the last will be first, and the first will be last.

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.

Teaching ideas for parents and teachers

  • Before coloring, ask kids if they think it's fair that everyone got the same pay. Most will say no. Then ask what the landowner says about fairness — and what that tells us about how God works.
  • For ages 5–7: keep it simple. The landowner paid everyone the same, even the people who worked less. That felt unfair to some workers. But the landowner said he could be generous with his own money.
  • For Sunday school: focus on grace vs. fairness. Ask, "Do you want God to be fair with you, or generous? What's the difference?"
  • For family devotion: read Matthew 20:1–16. Ask, "Has there ever been a time when God was generous to someone in a way that surprised you — or maybe even bothered you a little?"

Print and activity tips

  • Color the vineyard rows in rich greens and purples — the grapes should look full and heavy.
  • Give the early workers slightly more tired-looking clothing and posture; they've been in the sun all day.
  • Color the landowner in calm, warm tones; his expression should be generous, not defensive.

Discussion questions

  • The workers who worked all day got what they were promised. So why were they angry?
  • Is it possible to be both right and wrong at the same time? How does this parable show that?
  • Do you want God to treat you fairly, or generously? What's the difference?
  • Have you ever been bothered when someone else received something good that you didn't think they deserved?
  • What does this parable say about how God's kingdom is different from the way the world works?
