September
is National Literacy Month. Reading is about more than just decoding text: it's
about engaging with books. A good way to do that is hands-on literature-based
activities. Here are free printable world
history coloring pages from
Karen's Whimsy. Explore world literature, cultures, people, time periods,
civilizations, works of art, literary and historical figures and events.
Use
these to create world history lesson plans, holiday greeting cards and
literature lessons. Karen's Whimsy has free printable history colouring pages
from just about any art history time period: ancient, Gothic, classical,
medieval, renaissance, American history, Victorian, art deco, Edwardian.
Explore the art of different religions: Christian, Catholic, Orthodox, Hindu,
Buddhist, Jewish, Japanese, pagan, Islam, tribal, Shinto and more.
Have
a fancy for fantasy? Print clipart, images and coloring pages of dragons, angels, nymphs, dryads,
mythological beats, literary figures, hero and animals. Perhaps you're
interested in a specific niche of history: animals, flowers, plants, music,
clothing, soldiers, architecture, weapons, military, travel, homes, holidays, food. You can print coloring pages of them. There is an entire
section of free printable historical technology coloring pages and and cut and paste science crafts, perfect for
