Family Parade with Hearts and Stars: Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Coloring guide
A happy group walks toward you along a sidewalk. At the front, a child in a headband holds a big heart overhead with both arms. A boy in shorts on the left and a curly-haired girl in a skirt on the right each carry a star on a stick. Behind them a woman claps, a man smiles and claps, and a small child lifts a large star high. The background holds a leafy tree, a bush, a little house with a window, and a sun with rays in the sky. The big heart and stars leave roomy spaces for crayons or markers, so this free printable works well for a Martin Luther King Jr. Day lesson on kindness and community. Red for the heart and sunny yellow for the stars will make them stand out from the people. This page is part of our Martin Luther King Jr. Day coloring pages collection — check out Christmas and Halloween too.
