Inktober Continued

A bunch more robot coloring pages.

Inktober

Yup, it's Inktober, a holiday season only observed by illustrators and the ink people who live at the bottoms of dry wells.

In honor of the season I'm posting a bunch of free coloring pages on one of my favorite subjects: robots.

Go ahead and print them out for your kids (or yourself.)  Enjoy.

Robot Name Tags

It's that time of year again and my wife is setting up her 5th grade classroom.  My contribution every year is the student name tags on the outside of the door.  This year's theme: robots.

They make pretty good coloring pages and they're all yours folks if you want 'em.  Enjoy.

Holiday Coloring Pages

Tiff asked me to make some holiday/seasonal coloring pages for her class.  So I whipped up these:

While Tiff was making copies before school this morning another teacher asked her if she could use the coloring pages in her class too.  Then another teacher saw them.  I think at least 5 teachers are using these same coloring pages in their classrooms this week.  Fantastic.  The more the merrier.

I'll put these up on the C.K.C. website as soon as I can find a better way to browse them on the site.  For now you can just drag and drop from here on my blog.  Enjoy.

New Content at Creative Kid Central

I just updated the Creative Kid Central website.  There are two additions to the Lesson Plans page.

First we have Vocabulary Comics.

And then we have Making Language Arts Fun (with Rick Walton).  Thanks Rick for letting me link to the fantastic content on your website.

Apart from that I added a page for coloring pages.  Right now it has all of the monster name tags that I did for Tiff's classroom this year.  Though, they are too hard to preview.  I need to make it easier to browse the different pages.

Wow, links all over the place.

Monster Name Tags 2

As promised:

If anybody uses one of these name tags I want to see it.  Print it, color it and send it to me: bign.strong@gmail.com.  Then I can post it on the blog.

Monster Name Tags

Occasionally I get to help out in my wife's 5th-Grade class (she recently moved from 6th) with some kind of cool project.  Each year I get to help decorate my wife's class list that goes up outside the classroom door.  Last year I did monkeys.  This year it's all monsters (because that's kind of my thing recently.)  You might recognize some of these guys.

Bonus:  these can double as coloring pages.  Just print them, cut them out, write in your name and color away.  More coming soon.

Crayons

At my art show last week (pictures coming soon) I had a special kid's table.  On the table I had a bunch of coloring pages set out for the kids to draw on and a box of Crayola Crayons (48 colors.)  I made the pages to match my artwork that was hanging on the walls.  It was a pretty big hit with the kids.  At the end of the night there were some pages left behind so I figure I should show everybody.

I think those kids did a great job.  Maybe I should make more coloring pages and post them on my website.  Would anybody download those and use them?
