The Leaven in the Dough

This printable Catholic coloring page illustrates Jesus’ Parable of the Yeast, also known as the Parable of the Leaven. In this short but powerful Gospel message, Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to yeast that, though small, transforms a whole batch of dough. The artwork invites children to visualize this story while they color, making it ideal for religious education, classroom activities, or quiet reflection during the liturgical year. The simple black-and-white line drawing makes it easy to print and use at home or in a classroom.

This downloadable coloring page is a great addition to your collection of Catholic teaching tools and helps kids understand the meaning of this beautiful parable in a creative, hands-on way.
