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 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 for my geography students as part of a lesson on mass tourism in Britain, and management of erosion on the coastal footpaths. Based on the island of Alderney in the British Channel Islands.
A colouring page I created for my biology and geography students as part of a module on habitats, ecology, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. Based on the British slow worm.
"The Anguis fragilis, or slow worm, is a limbless lizard native to Eurasia. It is sometimes called a blindworm. Its German name ‘Blindschleiche’ is derived from the Old High German plintslîcho meaning ‘blinding creeper’, perhaps because of its lustrous scales.
Slow worms are semifossorial[1] (burrowing) lizards, spending much of the time hiding underneath objects. The skin of slow worms is smooth with scales that do not overlap one another. Like many other lizards, slow worms autotomize, meaning that they have the ability to shed their tails to escape predators. While the tail regrows, it does not reach its original length". (Wikipedia)
A colouring page that I created for my students about the blonde hedgehogs that live on the tiny British Channel Island of Alderney. Used for a discussion about wildlife conservation, environment, adaptation, journeys, habitat, and genetics.
"Alderney’s most famous wildlife is the very unusual ‘Blonde Hedgehogs’ (They are actually leucistic). White hedgehogs are rare in Britain but around 25% of the hedgehogs on Alderney are white.
There appears to be a dominant strain of leucistic hedgehogs on Alderney that produce an exceptionally high percentage of white animals. For some reason, the white hedgehogs don’t carry fleas, and there are no natural predators on the island, so the population is unusually high for such a small area. And being a small island, the strong leucistic gene remains prevalent in the population.
There is a theory that one or more white hedgehogs were released here in the 1960s having been bought from Harrods!".
