The Women Cards: Women’s History Month Coloring Pages

Children’s book illustrator, Melanie Hope Greenberg, has really fun Women’s History Month coloring pages for you today: Women Cards! The women cards feature eight women who have worked for good and changed the world. Some of these women may be familiar faces but a few will be new to you and your children and these women coloring pages are a fun and creative way to learn about famous women in history and today.

Women's History Month coloring pages

Melanie formatted her women in history coloring pages into a trading card format. Wouldn’t it be fun for kids to hand these cards out to their friends? Then everyone can learn and be inspired by these awesome and fearless ladies. Better yet, since these are only 8 of thousands of awesome women, children (boys and girls alike) can design and make more cards. How about a deck of 52? There’s a challenge for you.

Instructions to make the women cards:

Download the Women’s History Month coloring pages here (by clicking here you agree to our terms of service* see below): Women Cards Coloring Pages

Print out, preferably on thick paper or card stock.

Color as desired.

Cut out into 8 separate cards.

Learn more about the women (see below for more, then head to the library).

Optional: Write a few facts about each woman’s accomplishments on the back of her card.

Optional: Design  your own women cards to celebrate more women that inspire you.

Now go out there and play your woman card!

Who’s on the women cards?

Malala Yousafzai – Pakistan. Education advocate. Youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Lyda Conley – USA. The first Native American to argue a case before the Supreme Court. First woman admitted to the Kansas bar.

    These are great! I also wanted to point readers to the pages available online from “Remembering the Ladies — Not JUST a Coloring Book”– a dozen can be downloaded and printed from my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/TellingHerStories/ (scroll down to the posts from late October & early November 2016) and five more are here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8hujPsZ_pHjYi1TR3doQnQwMTQ/view.

    I have also done numerous storytimes featuring women’s history. The most recent one (on female inventors) is here: http://carolsimonlevin.blogspot.com/2017/03/school-age-storytime-mothers-of.html
