Coloring and Crafts for Kids

Coloring and craft projects for kids are easy using glue, scissors, a pencil, markers or crayons and construction paper.

In the following video, Cori DiSimone, who teaches art classes at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona talks about some coloring and crafts you can do with your kids. The project for which Cori talks about is what she calls "using a found object and creating a composition around it."

Grab the kids and have them work together on this for a wonderful collaborative work of art.

My kids were going through the ghost coloring page and said there were no images with the word BOO! So, as they found them, I've posted them here for you to print out and color.

BOO! Pumpkin - this one is neat because you can change the template, the font and the text.
