Kids might have to wait a few years to vote in an election, but they can show their enthusiasm for democracy and encourage others to participate in the process with this Election Day coloring page.
Children's book author and illustrator, Melanie Hope Greenberg, created this fun voting coloring page. It features the four gentlemen on Mount Rushmore telling people to VOTE!
Note: Mount Rushmore, in the Black Hills of South Dakota, is on land considered sacred by the Lakota Sioux, and is known by them as "Six Grandfathers." Learn more here.
Use this coloring page as part of a classroom lesson on civics and citizenship. Or, print it out for library story time as an activity after reading one of our recommended books about elections and voting rights, or books about citizenship. Activist kids can hand them out to neighbors and friends as gentle reminders about the importance of participating in the democratic process!
