Welcome to The Curiosity Crows!
I’m an autistic explorer with a passion for natural sciences and the planet. I create hand-drawn, minimalist, black and white coloring pages—ideal for early finishers, students who need a brain break, or as top-up pages and wet break time fillers.
You’ll also find photo bundles of images taken in the days of camera film rolls, perfect for bringing a touch of exploration and nostalgia into your lessons. And paper dolls for top-up activities for your class.

A photocopiable printout, hand out, or worksheet that students can colour in and highlight as they learn about Vikings, history, and geography. Suitable for all ages as a stand alone sheet or part of a wider topic.
A Key Stage 1 (age 6-7) Science resource based around the ocean as a theme. I created this colouring page for my class as part of our module on things that are living, dead, or which have never lived.

Alive, Dead, or Never Lived?
All living things do seven things:
- move
- reproduce
- grow bigger or older
- sense
- get rid of waste
- need food
- use oxygen for energy
A Key Stage 1 (age 6-7) Science resource based around the ocean as a theme. Part of a series of colouring pages that I created for my students to help them understand the seven things that living things do (move, reproduce, get bigger or older, sense, need food, get rid of waste, and use oxygen for energy).
A drawing of a block of butter that I did for my class as part of our module on health, nutrition, and healthy eating. We were in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia and talking about food traditions around the world, so we spoke about British recipes and butter being golden yellow on the Channel Islands due to the Guernsey cows. We also spoke about rationing during the World Wars.

A colouring page that I created as part of a topic on settlements and geography so that my students could compare the similarities and differences between hamlets, villages, towns, and cities. The picture is of Victoria Street on the British Channel Island of Alderney, which has a population of 1000 and just one street in the town. The street was named after Queen Victoria.

A four page PDF file of my hand written notes. Created by myself for my geography students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, who were unfamiliar with the IGCSE requirements, topic, and with English as a foreign language. Topics include types of tectonic plate, convection currents, plate boundaries, types of plate boundary, and collision plate margins.
A two page, hand written document created for my Key Stage 3 and IGCSE geography students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Could be used in class, as homework, or for revision of the topic. The worksheet can be coloured in and key words highlighted to help the student personalise the notes. There is a small activity at the end. It was designed for students new to the study and exam skills expected of the British curriculum, and who had English as a foreign language and no internet, books, or other resources.
A hand drawn worksheet that I created for my Key Stage 2 geography students, in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Designed for students new to the British National Curriculum, and with English as a foreign language. Revision for maps, scale, bird's eye view, and features.

A hand drawn activity worksheet that I created for my geography students (of all ages) in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. The activity was to make a volcano and a fact sheet about volcanoes in a group or on their own for their homework. There was a prize for the best ones, and we invited the rest of the school to come and see them in action. It went down very well indeed! It was a great way to finish off the term, with a fun activity after studying tectonics all year.
This was a really fun activity that I came up with for all of my geography classes (from Key Stage 2 to IGCSE) whilst teaching in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. I had no idea whether the Queen (or her office!) would actually reply, but the students were delighted to receive a letter along with information about the Royal family, and of course a letter with the Buckingham Palace postal mark on it! This was hung in pride of place in the school entrance, much to the delight of visiting parents.
The activity is based on the National Curriculum for geography, and how to address an envelope, along with understanding the differences between country, county, postal code, and street name. But is equally beneficial as part of a literacy lesson, introducing yourself to a stranger, or for talking about the cultural differences, or being on holiday. For example, Georgia has no postmen or women, and there are no post boxes, whereas Britain has red post boxes, and our stamp has an image of the Queen’s head on it.
The worksheet itself is hand drawn as I had no resources in Georgia, other than access to a photocopier in the city. I hope you will enjoy this activity as much as we did. I sent each class’s letters in one envelope, we heard back a month or so later, mainly due to Georgia not really having a postal system at that time.
A hand drawn, revision mind map on the topic of earthquakes - what are they, how do they happen, and how are they measured. Created for my geography students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia who were new to the iGCSE and had English as a foreign language. Could be used in class, as homework, as a refresher, or for exam revision.
A basic, hand drawn mind map on the topic of ‘what do we use fold mountain areas for’. Created as a revision tool for students with English as a foreign language, in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Could be used in class, as homework, for end of term or exam revision.
A hand drawn worksheet created for my Key Stage 3 and iGCSE geography students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Used to revise fold mountains and to practice English as a foreign language in preparation for end of year exams.
A hand drawn worksheet that I created for my students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia to help them learn Key Stage 2 Geography with English as a foreign language. Could be given as homework, revision, or used in class.

A basic, hand drawn worksheet that I created for my Key Stage 2 Geography students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Some words have the Georgian translation next to them, but this could be edited out and replaced with other languages. Doesn’t detract from the English writing.
A hand drawn recipe and instructions on how to make cupcakes. Created for my kindergarten, first, and second grade students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. For practicing maths, English as a foreign language, group working (under supervision), hands on skills, and learning about foods of other countries. We sold our cupcakes to raise money for the school.

A simple revision mind map and worksheet on the topic of predicting tectonic hazards (earthquakes and volcanoes). Hand drawn as a way to help my students with English as a foreign language in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia who were taking the Key Stage 2, 3 and IGCSE Geography. Can be coloured in by students and other notes added by the student if needed.
A colouring in, revision worksheet that I created for my Key Stage 2-3 and iGCSE students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Could be used in class, as homework, or for revision.
