Can you name all presidents of the United States? I’m not sure if I can. However, parents, teachers and caregivers can make a good effort at informing kids about Presidents through these fun printables and coloring pages.
Dltk-kids.com has some of my favorite printables on it. For this holiday, there are some fun caricature pictures of Washington and Lincoln. In addition, there are two pictures of the American Flag. All of the pictures come in both black and white. The black and white ones are wonderful for a coloring contest.
The simple lined writing paper from theteacherscorner.net is helpful for writing about a multitude of subjects concerning Presidents’ Day. Choose from six different lined journal papers featuring pictures of various presidents in the upper corner.
A Silhouette of Abraham Lincoln can be used as a shapebook cover, a place to draw or a venue for writing. This one is at abcteach.com.
Find five thumbnail versions of presidents and symbols of Presidents’ Day on coloringbookfun.com. The small pictures open up into full sized images. However, according to the site, you may need to block your block up blocker if the pictures do not show up when clicked on.
