What’s in these kindness coloring pages
Each page shows one small act of kindness children can actually do: sharing crayons, holding an umbrella for a friend, welcoming a new student, making room at the lunch table, tying a friend’s shoe, reading to a younger child or thanking the bus driver. Scenes are set at school, at home, on the playground and in the neighborhood.
