Bell, Birds and Tulips for Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Coloring guide
A large bell hangs from a wooden frame in the middle of the page, and curved sound lines on both sides show that it's ringing. Four little birds with open beaks flutter around the top of the frame, with small motion marks that make them look like they're bouncing and singing along. Tulips, daisy-style flowers, leafy sprigs and tall grass fill both bottom corners. The bold outlines and big open shapes are good for kids still building pencil control, and the bell is a handy spot to practice steady strokes. Warm gold or bronze suits the bell, browns work for the wooden posts, and bright pinks and purples make the tulips stand out. This free printable also works for a calm classroom activity or a quiet talk about freedom and hope on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

- 2Color the leaves and grass stems grass green, and use forest green on the darker leaves along the left and right sides.
- 3Fill the bell body and its bands with bright yellow, then add golden yellow on the rim, top ring and clapper ball, and bronze gold on the lower sides of the bell.
- 4Paint the birds sky blue, and color the wooden beams and posts caramel brown and chestnut brown, with the top clamp in light gray.

- 6Optional: Add a little shading with a darker shade of each color on the lower parts of the bell and the tulips to make them look rounder.
