Understanding the difference between clean and unclean foods is an important part of biblical learning for many Israelite families. At Tazamach Homeschooling Academy, we believe that these lessons can be taught in a way that is child-friendly, visual, and meaningful — especially for younger learners.

That’s why we created a FREE downloadable coloring set to help introduce children to the foods the Bible identifies as clean and unclean. This hands-on learning tool allows children to explore the topic in a gentle, age-appropriate way while strengthening fine motor skills, vocabulary, and biblical understanding.

What’s Included in the Free Download?

Our downloadable packet includes two detailed coloring pages:

1. Clean Foods Coloring Page

The clean foods page features items that children commonly recognize — such as grapes, apples, carrots, peppers, squash, broccoli, corn, and a clean fish. These images help spark conversations about nutrition, healthy eating, and biblical guidelines.

2. Unclean Foods Coloring Page

The second page shows clearly illustrated examples of unclean animals, including pigs, shellfish, vultures, mice, snakes, rabbits, crabs, and more. It also features two Israelite adults modeling the biblical stance of saying “no” to unclean foods with crossed arms.

These visuals make it easier for children to remember which foods the Bible tells us to avoid.

Why This Activity Matters for Israelite Children

Teaching clean and unclean foods doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Children learn best when lessons are:

✔ Visual

✔ Hands-on

✔ Connected to real-life experiences

✔ Simple and repetitive

Coloring is a powerful tool for this age. It helps children process information gently, builds fine motor skills, and allows parents to speak about Scripture in a warm, engaging way.

This activity not only supports biblical learning but also gives you a chance to talk about:

Healthy eating
The purpose behind biblical dietary laws
Family traditions and cultural identity
The importance of obedience and mindfulness

Perfect for Homeschooling, Sabbath Lessons, or Family Time

Whether you are teaching a full biblical curriculum or just introducing dietary laws, this free printable fits seamlessly into:

Homeschool lessons
Sabbath school activities
Family study nights
Early childhood learning
Coloring time for ages 3–10

The simple format makes it easy for younger children, while older children can practice reading, identify animals, and discuss why the Bible gives these guidelines.
