Carla Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 My little kids LOVE doing Story of the World. They LOVE having colouring pages to do while I read. Is there anything out there science-wise that comes close to this? We have Elemental Science, but those blank pages with lines are daunting, especially since we do Writing with Ease every day and so don't do narrations in history or science anymore. Is there something out there where they can just colour pictures and diagrams and do just a little writing or filling in while listening to great science? Apart from me pulling together books and colouring pages myself from the internet and Dover publications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyobu Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Apologia junior notebooks have coloring pages and other activities like that. The regular notebooks might have them too, but I only know about the junior ones for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carla Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Oh my goodness, those are nice! I used Apologia with my older ones when they were this age, but they didn't have the junior note booking pages then! The boys tolerated Apologia and I ended up selling the texts I had. I think my youngers might like it though with these pages.... I should have learned my lesson by now with selling curriculum. I often end up buying it again!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carla Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Any other suggestions out there? I think I have been out of the loop with my youngers, I was a curriculum researching junkie with the olders :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I have several anatomy coloring books, but most are high level. The Dover is elementary level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jar7709 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Have you seen the beautiful Dover coloring books? They have many on different science topics. They are pretty inexpensive (and most are usually on 4-for-3 at Amazon) so you could just get a few to supplement whatever other science curriculum you are using. We do this sometimes, the kids color while I read during our afternoon CM-like reading time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do you know whether they are available as a PDF download? I live in Canada, so shipping is steep, and I also want 3 copies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moniksca Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 For early elementary enchanted learning has lots of printouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeBeaks Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Dover books are beautiful. We use them with our topics (anatomy, natural sciences). Elemental Science Biology has some coloring (the pictures on the narration pages) and optional lapbook. I print out pictures of the animals full size to color as well to accompany the animal topic that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helena Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I know you're looking for something that you don't have to pull together... but I thought I'd throw this out there anyway. :001_smile: http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/sitemap/science.php http://karenswhimsy.com/science-clip-art.htm Ellen McHenry has some free color stuff on her website: http://www.ellenjmchenry.com/homeschool-freedownloads/lifesciences-games/botany.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
