Omnivorous Surfer

I suppose every elementary teacher in America knows about this site, but it's a new one to me. Looking for something else entirely (horseshoes), I came upon The Coloring Spot. Here you'll find simple coloring pages for just about anything imaginable (well, anything that isn't trademarked, that is). The categories are too numerous to tell in one breath: animal, bird species, cat breeds, cowboy stuff (yep, and there were my horseshoes!), dinosaur, [inhale] dog breeds, fairy, furniture and appliance, insect, medieval, music, mythical creatures, ocean life, [inhale] people and their jobs, princess, sports (athletes), and wonders of the world . There are also pages for Christmas, Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving, and Valentine's Day.

The site even includes several animal pictures to color online which can be printed. As if all that weren't enough, there are also links to other sites with coloring pages.

I can think of several uses for these pages, both in school and at home. I know I'll use them with the grandchildren for alphabet and word work, as well as for just plain fun. This has been a serendipitous afternoon!
