The Curiosity Crows

Average Rating3.00
(based on 22 reviews)

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.

Business, Law, Writing a Will

As part of my preparation for my expedition rowing my boat solo around the coast of Britain, I had to write a will and plan what would happen to my educational charity Oceans Project after my death. I thought these photos might be of use to other teachers out there teaching about business or discussing what happens when we die. So I am including them in case you ever need a photo for presentation purposes.

Can your students identify the animal the poo came from, what kind of diet the animal might eat, is it a herbivore, omnivore, or carnivore for example.
