Peace Dove with Olive Branch for Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Coloring guide
This dove glides across the sky with one wing lifted high and the other swept out to the side, a small leafy olive branch tucked in its beak. It has a round eye, a softly curved body and a fan of tail feathers behind it. Three puffy clouds drift nearby, two low on the page and one at the upper left, and a round sun with short rays sits in the top right corner. The big wing feathers and open spaces are easy for small hands to fill in. Since it's filed under Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it's a nice way to bring up peace while kids color. Sky blue behind the clouds and bright green leaves on the branch look good, and the dove can stay white or get a little light gray shading. Print it at home with no sign-up.

- 3Fill each leaf of the olive branch, from the top leaf down to the hanging one, with olive green.
- 4Color the small foot near the bottom of the dove with warm orange.
- 5Keep the dove's body and wings white, along with the little shine in its eye and the white of the eye itself.
- 6Optional: add a few soft sky blue or olive green strokes on one side of the clouds and leaves to give them a little depth.
