Hundreds of FREE Coloring Pages for Kids

I've come across this webpage

COLORING PAGES FOR KIDS

a couple of times throughout the years.

But I thought it'd be nice to share it with others who haven't been fortunate enough to stumble upon it yet. It's a great way to print out FREE coloring pages for kids, and your choices are practically unlimited!

Something for the boys....

For the little princesses...

or for everyone!

I went shopping recently for my niece and 

I was surprised to see how expensive coloring books can be! 

Most of them are almost $5, and to me, 

that's a lot of money to spend on a book with 

maybe 40-50 pages printed off in black & white ink.

And this isn't just about money, you can turn this into a fun little project to make your kids a personalized coloring book! Right now, when I make one for my niece for Christmas, it'll have a lot of Elmo, Owls, and Puppies (and possibly a Numbers page). But next year, I can make her one that will probably feature totally different characters. It'll  be fun to see how much her tastes will change from year to year.

"hello and happy monday to you! i'm working my way through a large coffee, sneezing my head off and looking back on some cut and paste fun i had this weekend. inspired by a beautiful patterned pendant i bought from jess swiftlast year, i decided to try a humble version made of paper. just as i did with the bookmarks, i collaged an 8.5x11 sheet of 80 lb cardstock with pieces from my stash - mostly stuff from old marie-claire maisons, anthropologie catalogs, and patterned papers. i covered both sides to make the necklaces reversible...
