Raised Fist Shield Design for Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Raised Fist Shield Design for Martin Luther King Jr. Day coloring page

Coloring guide

A strong raised fist sits in the middle of a shield, with the forearm reaching up from the bottom edge. Shading on one side of the arm and across the knuckles gives the hand a bold, dimensional look. Behind it, tall vertical stripes fill the shield, framed by several nested outlines. Three five-pointed stars line up inside a rectangular banner across the top. The words MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY curve along the bottom edge of the shield. The big open stripes are easy to color, and the fist has some smaller sections for older kids. Try coloring the stripes in alternating colors, then talk with your class or family about what the three stars and the raised fist might stand for. This free printable works well for a classroom bulletin board display.
