Christopher Columbus Coloring Pages

Columbus Day is observed the second Monday of October each year here in the United States of America, and that date is quickly upon us!  I created this set of Christopher Columbus coloring pages 7 years ago for my then little girls to color.  During most of our history read alouds in those younger days, my girls would sit and color while I read page after page.

Those times are such wonderful memories for all of us!

Because these pages were a bit dated, I updated them for the 2022 fall season with a few new graphics and an updated writing font.  Please re-download this set if you have the old version.

These coloring pages are in a fun mini-book style, which my girls always love.

Note that each mini-page has 1 picture with plenty of white room on the page for your young learner to add their own creativity and embellishments.

Also, there is a one-line handwriting practice area.

In this 14-page set, you’ll find the following pictures:
