Description of Coloring Page: girl, garden, flowers in field, crows, grass, cloudy day, poem

Flow gently, Time Father, throughout 
thy long day,
Flow gently, and steal not sweet child-
hood away.
A maiden's embarking upon thy dark
stream;
Flow gently, Time Father, disturb not 
youth's dream.

Thou shadowy monster of fast waning
years,
Thou gloomy foreboder bedew'd in thy
tears,
Thou faint and decrepit, disheart'ning
old age,
Depress not my maiden with counsel-
ing sage.

Flow gently, Time Father, throughout
thy long day,
Flow gently, kind parent, benign be 
thy sway;
A maiden's embarking upon thy dark
stream,
Flow gently, Time Father, disturb not
youth's dream.

Description of Coloring Page: Nativity, angels and baby Jesus, hay, poem by John Addington Symonds

Sleep, baby sleep! the Mother sings:
Heaven's angels kneel and fold their wings.
Sleep, baby, sleep! With swathes of scented hay thy bed
By Mary's hand at ever was spread.

Sleep, baby, sleep! At midnight came the shepherds, they
Whom seraphs wakened by the way.

Sleep, baby, sleep! And three kings from the East afar
Ere dawn came guided by a star.

Sleep, baby, sleep! They brought thee gifts of gold and gems
Rich orient pearls, pure diadems.
Sleep, baby, sleep! But thou who liest slumbering there
Art King of kings, earth, ocean, air.

Sleep, baby, sleep! the shepherds sing:
Through heaven, through earth, hosannas ring.

"B is for beaver" alphabet coloring page

This beaver is standing on the roof of his house.
Description of Coloring Page: small mammal, fur, sticks, damn , upper and lower case Bb, practice tracing the letters and sentence

How to Use This Alphabet Coloring Page:
  1. Help little ones to become familiar with reading and writing every day. Don't be too demanding of any child under five years of age. Just repeat the words and point out the upper and lower case letters. Gradually he or she will begin to retain the information.
  2. Talk about other words that start with the same letter.
  3. Talk about how words may rhyme with the words used on the page.
  4. Remind your young student of the shared experience both while you are coloring the sheet and practicing their writing and when you may be seeing or doing a similar activity depicted on the coloring page. Example: "Remember when we colored a beaver and wrote the word beaver?
  5. Practice coloring and writing for just a few minutes everyday; especially during mid-morning when children are most alert and do not tire as easily. Practicing regularly helps develop their small motor skills and also conditions young students for academic environments.
