Author and illustrator Mariah Siner has released a new coloring book designed to help children engage with Scripture through playful, hand-drawn teddy bear illustrations. 'Christian Teddies Coloring' combines 21 original illustrations with 25 biblical verses from the Sword of the Spirit, creating what Siner describes as a gentle tool for spiritual growth and family bonding during the holiday season.
The book aims to make learning God's Word joyful, comforting, and full of wonder for young children. Each page pairs adorable teddy bears and stuffed animal scenes with powerful verses meant to uplift, inspire, and plant seeds of truth in young hearts. Siner created the book with the intention of helping families, especially children, engage with Scripture in a meaningful way that goes beyond traditional reading.
'This book was created with love and purpose,' Siner said. 'I wanted families, especially young children, to engage with Scripture in a way that feels joyful, comforting, and full of wonder. Coloring is peaceful, and when paired with God's Word, it becomes something truly special.'
The release comes at a time when many families are seeking meaningful, screen-free activities for the holidays. 'Christian Teddies Coloring' serves as both wholesome entertainment and a beautiful introduction to Scripture, whether shared around the table after dinner or used during quiet time at home. The book encourages children to pause, color, learn, and reflect on God's living Word through hands-on engagement.
Beyond its appeal to children, the coloring book also serves as a comforting activity for parents, grandparents, teachers, and ministry leaders who want to nurture faith through creative expression. The book includes one heartfelt prayer alongside the illustrations and Scriptures, creating a complete devotional experience for families.
