Photos = coloring pages, drawing lessons


For a fun twist on coloring pages, you can turn your photos into coloring pages at www.crayola.com/colorme!

In order to use their program, you'll need an access code after you register on the site. This one should work: PRVP3ZPH

Bonus: This is also great for older students learning to draw, because the program "drains" the color from the photo you select, so that you only see the photograph's lines--a difficult skill when you're learning to draw. In high school, I learned a lot about drawing from using the grid system (which this lesson recommends for ages 10-14 or grades 6-8). For a simpler version of grid drawing for younger children, scroll down on this page.
