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 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.
What did people wear in the 1970s? How has fashion changed between then and now? Four cut out and dress dolls as examples of clothing from the 1970s, and four black and white versions for students to colour themselves.
I drew this fish for my students to colour in and use in their creative writing session as part of our modules on the ocean, animals, environments, and conservation.

**Fish, Fishing, Food and Farming or World Oceans Day inspired simple colouring page of a fish, probably closest to an Angel fish. **
This hand-drawn fish colouring page was created by me in 2013 while teaching abroad, in a school with limited resources, budget, and electricity. It’s a low-prep, economical, black-and-white drawing designed for a variety of educational activities. It was originally part of my geography and biology lessons with Key Stage 1 and 2 students, and also used for creative writing, English as a Foreign Language (EFL), and Environmental Science (ESL) classes. Drawing from my experiences as a keen BSAC Scuba Diver and full-time explorer, I used my personal adventures to fuel the imagination for this activity.
