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.

My Wish List: Colouring and Writing Page

(0)
This activity will involve some self reflection and an understanding of the past, present, future, and our emotions, dreams, wishes, and goals. If the student could have any wish in the world, what would it be? What would they change personally, in their community, at school, or in the wider world? A following up activity could look at the steps needed to be put in place to make the wish list become a reality.

Settlements: Clock Tower on a Village Church

(0)
A settlements and geography themed colouring page created for a lesson about hamlets, villages, towns, and cities. This is the church and clock tower on the tiny British Channel Island of Alderney. The island has a population of around 1000 but a new church had to built in the 1900s as the island's population increased when British soldiers were stationed on the island and the church was too small to accommodate all the new arrivals. Today the island has more than 4 churches, and just a handful of shops so everything has to be brought in by plane or ship.
