PBS Kids: Make coloring exciting for your kids by giving them a new coloring sheet instead of handing them the same coloring book every time. You can go to this site and print color pages about their favorite characters from all of the PBS Kids shows. When you go to certain shows, most have activity sheets that you can print.

As parents, you can visit the Crafts & Coloring or Recipes sections to print coloring pages, craft templates or kid-centered recipes that you can do together.

First School: Here, you will find countless printable activities ranging from coloring to crafts, tracing to games. These activities are mostly academic in that they teacher numbers, shapes and letters but you can also find printables for various themes like seasons and holidays.

Print Activities: This site has hundreds of printables. They are organized by type of activity on the top and along the side, they are organized by theme.
