martin luther king holiday coloring pages

Next Monday, January 19, is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  This is a good time to remember the civil rights struggle in the United States and learn from its lessons.

Most schools will be closed for the day so this would be a great time for you to print these Martin Luther King Day coloring pages and color them in with your kids, while discussing the weighty issues they represent.

You may also want to check out my President Barack Obama coloring pages- I have showcased image in which President Obama and Mr. King are represented in the same picture.

  challenging animal alphabet letters to print

Sometimes I like to print out coloring pages for me to color alongside my daughter.  I found these animal alphabet letters to print that are realistic and challenging.  I haven't checked every letter, but it looks like the name of the animals shown on each letter begins with the letter respresented. I may have a contest later on to see who can identify the most animals for each letter.  I guess I need to think of some good prizes!

These pages would also be great if you are homeschooling children of different ages.  The older kids can work on these more difficult coloring pages and you can use the completed pages to teach the younger children. 

You could also use the completed pages for displayable artwork, such as for the letters of your child's name.  Given the fine detail in these pages, I recommend using fine-point markers or coloring pencils to color them in.

Happy New Year! This evening we are going to an Italian restaurant to taste sparkling wines and celebrate the New Year.  While we are partaking in some "adult beverages", my parent will be keeping the kiddies.  I found a few New Year's Eve coloring pages for them to pass the evening.
