as above so below coloring pageMaybe I should call today’s coloring page “Thoughtful Thursday.” I’ve been so busy with all kinds of projects, I only remembered about doing the page last night. I’ve added an alarm in my phone so I won’t forget again!

Instead of the usual coloring page, this week’s sheet is an activity for the brain. ‘As above, so below’ features an athame and a chalice for your little ones to puzzle out. (Best for grades 2-4) After they play the puzzle they can color it all in.

The page can be accessed at the yahoo Group’s page (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LyonMartinNews/) in the files section. Sign up if you aren’t a member to get the weekly coloring page and find previous pages as well.

I create my coloring pages every week for teachers, librarians, booksellers and parents to enjoy with their children, but also to let the public know about MY BOOKS!

Please visit my web site http://magicalchild.handcraftedpagan.com/about/ (or the publisher’s web site http://magicalchildbooks.com/) to see all of them!

Enjoy your weekend!

Daffodil coloring pageI hope the recent weather ups and downs have been kind to you.

Here in Missouri we’ve had hot and cold running spring. Just last week, the high temperature record of 116 years was broken. We reached the high of 84°F, in early March. I hope this isn’t a warning of a super hot summer.

This week’s coloring page is a beautiful bunch of daffodils. They have started blooming in my garden. I love their happy yellow faces! Have fun coloring.

You can access the pdf file here by joining my yahoo news group.
