9 cool, free summer coloring pages. Because...it's summer!
Happy summer solstice everyone. Whether you're celebrating or just enjoying having your kids wake up at 5:15 AM with the sun, we thought we'd share a few cool free summer coloring pages we've seen around the web, just to get the kids into the spirit. There are nine here, one for every 10 degrees of mercury that will happily keep me inside crafting, in air conditioned comfort. My kids like to turn coloring projects into puppets, cut them out and paste them on other things (like walls or each other), make cards, or just stick them on our front door. In other words, I can never throw any of them away ever. You too?   At top:  Ocean Coloring Page with puppets, Melanie Hope Greenberg   Modern Fish Coloring Page (PDF), Made by Joel Modern Sun Coloring Page, Honking Donkey Summer Shells Coloring Page (PDF), Holiday Crafts + Creations   Butterfly Coloring Pages, Don't Eat the Paste     Fireworks Coloring Page (PDF),  Made by Joel   Design Your Own Surfboard Coloring Page, bnute   Olaf's Summer Coloring Page, Spoonful  For more fun printables, lots of them free, visit our printables + diy board on Pinterest
