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.

Have you ever wondered why we send Christmas cards, or why not every country sends cards? When was the first card sent? Who sent the first Christmas Card? How many Christmas cards are sent each year? In this video I'll answer some of these questions as I explore the history of the Christmas card.
This session is based on a video (History of the Christmas Card | Who Sent the First Card) with real life explorer and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society Sarah Weldon.

This is a hand written resource that I created for my class in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, so they could raise funds for an expedition they were planning. The theme was ‘journeys’ and would help them to work in groups to organise the fundraising events and to raise the budget they needed for their school trip. There are 13 activities for students, some simple, some requiring a bit more input. Please note that there are some references to our local currency (GEL) and a couple of people or places that we had connections with, but you could easily substitute these for your local currency, people, or places.

A collection of photos of the underwater sculptures at the marine reserve in Grenada, West Indies. These were created by a British artist and put on the site of coral damage after Hurricane Ivan. They now have coral growing on them and are a new habitat for the fish and underwater life. I was living and working in Grenada at this time. The photos were taken on slide film, pre digital photography age, but could be used to talk about the effects of weather, coral bleaching, environment, ocean, sea, animals, art, or scuba diving.
