Martin Luther King Day occurs on the third Monday each January.

It is a Federal holiday in the United States, which means it's a long weekend for many. If you have off school, you may want to teach about Dr. King either before or after the exact holiday.

Because MLK Day is associated with acts of service and kindness, you may also want to grab this kindness word search puzzle to accompany your lesson. I've also created a Martin Luther King Day word search.

How to use number coloring pages

These color by number sheets are an easy way to help early learners practice their colors, numbers, sight words, and fine motor skills. Although some pages have fewer numbers, this set of color by number sheets includes numbers 1-10.

If your child or student can’t recognize their color words yet, you can circle the crayons with the correct color or color the tip of the crayon image to make a key.

This will help your child learn their color words and help with color recognition skills.

I prefer to color with Prismacolor pencils. They are creamy and delightful to color with. I believe in supplying children with high-quality materials, whenever possible, so my daughter uses my Prismacolors, too.
