Have you been enjoying Melanie Hope Greenberg's free coloring pages? It's time to print out her latest Valentines coloring page featuring a heart-decorated whale and a couple of love-struck fish.
Download pdf and print Melanie's free valentines coloring page. (For personal use ONLY. Commercial use prohibited.)
I've found that coloring pages have been a useful tool when getting New Kid to exercise his fine motor skills. He tends to quit free draw and writing activities quickly, claiming that he's tired. However, when I give him a coloring page, he stays at the table for a bit longer.

My 5 year old sidekick is already leaning over my shoulder and demanding that I print it. I'd say it's a hit! Thanks! Pinning.

The link for the coloring page shows the colored photograph (not the coloring page).

My apologies! I've fixed it. It took me a while because we were on vacation. Thank you for letting me know.
Nancy says
Thank you! (And no worries on timing - obviously I'm not incredibly prompt right now)
