15 Samson Coloring Pages That Teach Kids Real Strength Comes In Many Forms
Kids love announcing how strong they are, flexing tiny arms and asking you to feel their muscles. It’s one of those universal kid things, mine included.
Samson would understand that completely. This set of Samson coloring pages follows a boy whose strength came from something bigger than muscle, his hair, his story, and the God who blessed him from the very start.
Fifteen pages built for kids who already believe they’re strong, and want the story to prove it.
A Note from Louisa (Founder of MyKidColors)
My twin sister was the athlete, the one who could run without a second thought. I tried once, in an interhouse sports race a teacher talked me into, and I tripped on a stick and ended up in the sick bay instead of the finish line. I found my strength somewhere else, cheering everyone else on from the sideline instead.
This story is part of something bigger…

Samson’s strength was physical and obvious, carrying gates, wrestling a lion, but I think this story leaves room for other kinds of strength too, the kind that shows up quietly instead of carrying a city gate up a hill.
Conversation Corner: 3 Questions to Ask While Coloring
Turn this activity into a bonding moment. While your child colors, try asking these questions:
- For “Flexing His Strength” (Page 1): “What’s something that makes you feel strong, even if it’s not about muscles?”
- For “Getting Locs Braided” (Page 6): “How does it feel when someone takes care of you like this? Who takes care of you that way?”
- For “Standing Victorious” (Page 15): “Samson’s name became something people remembered. What do you want people to remember about you?”
The Collection: 15 Free Samson Coloring Pages
We’ve organized these into three sets to help you teach the story of Samson — from the legend itself to the everyday strength it inspires.
For Little Hands: Meeting Samson (Pages 1-5)
Best for toddlers and preschoolers. These pages introduce strength and the Samson story in gentle, playful ways.
- Page 1 shows a young boy with dreadlocks happily flexing his arms to show off his strength — a fun, low-stakes entry point to the theme.
- Pages 2 & 3 move into the story itself, with Samson wrestling open the jaws of a roaring lion in the wilderness, and a silhouette of Samson carrying a set of massive city doors up a hill toward the rising sun.
- Pages 4 & 5 bring it back down to a child’s world, with a young child playing with a stuffed lion toy on a mat next to a small puppy, and an older man with glasses reading a book to a young boy.

Everyday Strength (Pages 6-10)
Perfect for elementary kids. These pages visualize the kind of strength that doesn’t make headlines but matters just as much.
- Page 6 shows a mother wearing a headwrap gently braiding and styling a young boy’s long locs.
- Pages 7 & 8 highlight courage and curiosity, with a young boy with a prosthetic leg proudly raising his fists under a radiant sunburst, and a teacher showing a small fox to a classroom of engaged children.
- Pages 9 & 10 add a sense of adventure and teamwork, with a child kneeling in the woods looking at a hollow log filled with honeycomb and buzzing bees, and a group of children playing a lively game of tug-of-war indoors.

The Full Story & Application (Pages 11-15)
Designed for older kids or quiet reflection. These scenes include detailed storytelling elements and modern application.
- Page 11 shows a boy wearing a cape lifting a toy castle structure above his head to amaze a group of friends — imagination stepping into Samson’s shoes.
- Pages 12 & 13 return to the heart of the story, with a boy with long dreadlocks striking a strong pose surrounded by supportive friends at a decorated party, and Samson carrying heavy wooden city gates through a bustling town market as onlookers watch in awe.
- Pages 14 & 15 close the set with community and celebration, showing a teacher in a wheelchair reading a story to children gathered under a large shade tree outdoors, and a young boy standing victoriously beside a friendly dog next to a wooden sign labeled “SAMSON.”

Perfect for Sunday School & Homeschool Teachers
- Sunday School Teachers Page 2 (Samson wrestling the lion) is the natural hook for introducing Judges 14. Follow it with Page 9 (the honeycomb in the log) to walk through the riddle Samson later poses about the lion, without needing extra props.
- Homeschool Parents Use Pages 1 and 15 as bookends for a short unit on Samson — start by asking what your child thinks “strength” means, then revisit the question after finishing the story to see how their answer grows.
- Classroom Teachers Page 8, showing a teacher presenting a small fox to an engaged classroom, mirrors a simple show-and-tell format you can use to introduce the Samson story with an object lesson of your own.
- Parents at Home No lesson plan needed. Hand your child Page 6 (getting their hair braided) or Page 7 (the boy with a prosthetic leg) and let the Conversation Corner questions above open up a conversation about what makes them feel strong and cared for.
Drawn by Real People, Made for Real Kids
A kid wrestling a stuffed lion on the living room floor and Samson actually wrestling a real one aren’t so different in spirit, both are testing out strength they’re still growing into. I wanted an illustrator who could hold that same playful confidence across the whole set.
At My Kid Colors, every page is made by a real human illustrator who thinks about dignity, cultural awareness, and emotional truth before a single line gets drawn, so Samson’s strength looks joyful, not intimidating.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I explain Samson’s strength to my child without the focus landing only on violence?
Lean into the “why” behind the strength rather than the feats themselves — Samson’s strength was tied to his purpose and calling, not just brute force. Pages 1 and 7 are good pairing points, since they connect strength to confidence and identity rather than combat.
Can this set work for a child who doesn’t see themselves as “the strong one”?
Yes — that’s part of why Page 7 (a boy with a prosthetic leg raising his fists) and Page 14 (a teacher in a wheelchair reading to kids) are included. They widen the definition of strength so every child in the room has a page that reflects them.
What’s a fun craft to pair with the honeycomb page?
Use Page 9 as a jumping-off point for a simple paper-plate honeycomb craft — cut hexagon shapes from yellow paper and glue them onto a plate, then use it to retell Samson’s riddle about “sweetness from the strong” in Judges 14:14.
