Did children in the Bible color?

Oh, what a fun question! 

"Children in Bible times didn't color with crayons like the ones we have today, but they did draw pictures.  They also played games.  Archaeologists (people who study ancient cities and cultures) have found some of the games. 

"Children back then dressed differently than the way we do, their houses and schools were made differently, and they had different kinds of games.  But they were just like kids today in many ways.  They liked to have fun.  They had family chores to do.  When they were bad, their parents disciplined them.  They studied.  They had times of happiness and sadness.  They were real kids."
Question #190 from "Over 200 questions children ask about God and the Bible " by Veerman, Galvin, Wilhoit, Lucas, & Osborne,  Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.  Wheaton, Ill,  (C) 1997.
