32 years before Alaska was to become a state, the Alaska Department of the American Legion sponsored a territorial contest for Alaskan children from seventh grade (age 12-13 year old student kids) to twelfth grade (age 17-18 year old student kids). Winning the contest in 1927, the design of Benny Benson, a 13-year-old Alaska Native residing at the Jesse Lee Home for Children in Seward, was chosen to represent the future flag of the Territory of Alaska. Up to that time, Alaskans had flown only the U. S. flag since the territory was purchased from Russia in 1867. Benson’s design was chosen over roughly 700 other submissions from schoolchildren territory-wide in grades 7–12. Most other entries featured variations on the territorial seal, the midnight sun, the northern lights, polar bears, and/or gold pans. To celebrate his achievement, Benson was awarded US$1,000 and an engraved watch.
Coloring pages help a child to develop better fine motor skills as well as hand eye coordination. You might wonder if colouring inside the lines is important, yet you will soon realise that it is when you see your children use the same skills when playing sport. Creativity is your children's greatest achievements particularly when coloring online. Children gradually start to create their own images, style and color online. Children will often find numerous ways to be creative both on and offline. Experience and creativity is education and learning for everyone. If children are creative they will likely be open to new ideas and educational experiences.
The different types of Biblical coloring pages are - Abraham Coloring Sheets, Cain and Abel Color Pages, Adam and Eve Color Pages, Creation Color Pages, Easter Color Pages, David (and Goliath) Color Pages, Jacob and Esau Color Pages, Hannah and Samuel Color Pages, Noah`s Ark Color Pages, Moses Color Pages, Ruth and Naomi Color Pages, Samson and Delilah Coloring Sheets, Old Testament Color Pages and to name a few.
Coloring alongside children can be inspiring. How about inviting a friend or two over for tea and some coloring time? And for any artists who are feeling a bit burnt out working in their usual medium, why not use coloring as a way to rejuvenate your creativity?
