Friendship Circle of Hands for Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Coloring guide
Hands and arms reach in from every edge of the page and clasp each other's wrists, making a big circle with a little garden in the middle. Inside the ring are three flowers on leafy stems: one tall daisy-style bloom in the center, two smaller ones beside it, and a tiny flower out front. Tufts of grass sit at the base, and three smiling butterflies flutter overhead. Some hands look bigger and some smaller, so the circle feels like it takes in both grown-ups and children. The outlines are bold and the shapes roomy, which is great for young kids with chunky crayons. Try a mix of skin tones on the hands and arms, then add bright yellow centers to the flowers. It's a handy printable for a lesson on unity and friendship on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Add this to your Martin Luther King Jr. Day coloring page collection, alongside Christmas and Halloween.
