Bible Story Props: Joseph and the Colored Coat

Scripture Story Printables by Keeping Life Creative

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was one of my favorite musicals as a kid (therefore the Bible story of Joseph became a favorite!), and I was really excited to create this story set.

When my five-year-old asked recently, why do we read the scriptures, one of the things I told her is that the details in the ancient stories may be different, but we can still learn from them as the the challenges and feelings are the same today. The story of Joseph has many examples:

  • Parents still love their children and want to shower them with precious gifts (colored coat).
  • Siblings still experience jealously and fight.
  • Dreams can still be a source of inspiration and vision.
  • Sin (immorality, Potipher’s wife, etc. ) is something we all should continue to “flee” from.
  • Hard work and honesty still reap prosperity.
  • It’s still good to save for a rainy day (famine).

The Old Testament Scripture Story Set includes all the pieces you need to tell the story of Joseph from beginning to end (plus many other stories)! After downloading and printing, there are many things you can do with the story graphics, such as:

    Thanks so much for these amazing printables! What do you do to get the felt pieces to stick together when they have iron-on transfers? For example, sticking the coat to Joseph? Thanks!

    What a super cute printable craft! I love these! Joseph is one of my kids’ favorite characters from the Bible.

    We are starting to “homeschool” my 2 1/2 year old this year with some curriculum that calls for flannel board sets. I just can’t afford to spend $120+ on a set so I thank you so much for these!! What a blessing for us!
