MLK Day Block Letters Under Rows of Stars

Big outlined block letters spell MLK DAY inside a rounded rectangle at the center of the page. Above it, four rows of five-pointed stars fill the top section, with a few stars cut off at the left and right edges. Straight lines fan out from behind the letter box toward the sides and bottom, a bit like rays or stripes. The letters have a slight shadow edge, and the open centers of M, D, A, and K are easy to fill in. Kids could color each letter a different color and keep the stars one shade, or use a pattern of alternating colors across the star rows. This free printable works well for a classroom bulletin board on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Younger children can count the stars row by row while they color, and older kids can write a favorite quote or a kind word in the margins.
