Great news! The text on these fun coloring sheets has been updated. (1/7/2021)
Created to highlight, celebrate, and inspire, these coloring sheets are an ode to some of the most ground breaking African Americans. They have each positively impacted U.S. History as well as their individual career industries. I can only hope to be this determined for greatness in my journey here on earth.
As a response to the popularity of these coloring sheets, I’ve expanded them into a book, Doodles Black History. This book, includes 50 fun, full-sized illustrations paired with facts for kids to learn about the positive impact that African Americans have had, and continue to have on American History.

The theatric-craft activity is a perfect way to bring english and art together. Start by having your students write a short narrative on the activity sheet, which could include all or some of the following animals:

Collaborating on the writing assignment is ideal, but the only rule is to be creative! Once the story is finished, assign the roles, or have the students select which character they would like to be. After the roles are assigned, the students can begin the craft portion of the activity.
