Girl's Dream of Friends Playing Soccer, Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Coloring guide
A little girl sleeps peacefully in bed with her hands tucked under her cheek and a gentle smile, and a big thought bubble above her shows what she's dreaming. In it, five children laugh and play on a grassy hill under a rainbow and puffy clouds. One cheers from a wheelchair, another wears a hijab, and a girl with curly puffs throws her arms up in joy. A boy and a curly-haired child run toward a soccer ball in the middle. Her blanket is covered in stars and hearts, and the bedposts have round knobs. This free printable is a good fit for a classroom talk about friendship and inclusion. Soft purple on the blanket stars and a rainbow of red, orange, yellow, green and blue overhead would look great.
