Coloring Books

My class loves to color. Who doesn't, right? Since they are constantly drawing pictures and scribbling all over every piece of paper they are given, I decided to make them a specific coloring book for the sole purpose of doing just that -- coloring. I found this awesome website that turns photos into coloring pages, and ta-da, my coloring books were in the works. I tried many different photos, since some ended up looking better than others.  I also tried to get at least one of each child. Then, I compiled all the pages into a book for each child to keep in their cubby and pull out whenever they have extra time. I think they are going to have so much fun coloring eachother like cartoon characters.

Here are some of my favorite pages.

I can't wait to see how each child colors their coloring book. I will make sure to post some more photos of the outcome. I'm so excited to give them their coloring books tomorrow!

... because they are looking for ideas."

Forever young. :)

UPDATE: Here are photos of my kids coloring
their coloring books. They loved them, by the way.
Totally made my day seeing the smiles on their faces.
