This month's coloring page by children's book author and illustrator, Melanie Hope Greenberg celebrates the arts!
The coloring page features a bevy of children engaged in artistic pursuits. There's a child putting on a puppet show, a painter, a clay artist, a magician, and more–all playing around the words, "PLAY WITH THE ARTS."
Melanie's original Play With The Arts: Discover the Creative Spirit of Long Island poster was commissioned art for three organizations, Long Island Children’s Museum, Tillis Center for the Performing Arts, and the Nassau County Museum of Art.
And now, she's turned it into a coloring page perfect for classroom brain breaks, library story times, or at home quiet time. Be sure to check out her other school themed coloring pages for more!
