A wooden cross with wavy grain lines and a knot stands at the center of this Easter cross coloring page. A garland of seven flowers and small leaves winds over the crossbar and down the post, and a large ribbon bow is tied just below the crossbar. Three decorated eggs sit in the grass at the foot of the cross between two leafy sprigs. The left egg has straight stripes, the middle egg mixes wavy and straight bands, and the right egg has wavy stripes. The bold outlines make it an easy page for children from about age 4.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "a simple wooden cross wrapped with a garland of spring flowers and a ribbon bow, with three Easter eggs at its base." The cross, the garland, the bow and the three eggs in the drawing all come from that sentence.

How to use it

A catechist can use it in an Easter lesson about the cross, with brown crayons for the wood and spring colors for the flowers and eggs. Preschool and kindergarten teachers can ask children to count the eggs and the flowers before they start coloring. At home, a family can color it together on Easter weekend and display it on the table or the fridge. The garland and the bow look bright in pink, yellow and purple against the brown wood.
