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 Key Stage 1 (age 6-7) Science resource based around the ocean as a theme. I created this colouring page for my class as part of our module on things that are living, dead, or which have never lived.
Please leave me a review and I will send you any other resource of your choice for free (contact me: office@oceansproject.com). Check out my other resources at my shop: /teaching-resources/shop/sarah277

A Key Stage 1 (age 6-7) Science resource based around the ocean as a theme. This worksheet is a beach bucket for students to colour in.
Alive, Dead, or Never Lived?
All living things do seven things:
- move
- reproduce
- grow bigger or older
- sense
- get rid of waste
- need food
- use oxygen for energy
A Key Stage 1 (age 6-7) Science resource based around the ocean as a theme. Part of a series of colouring pages that I created for my students to help them understand the seven things that living things do (move, reproduce, get bigger or older, sense, need food, get rid of waste, and use oxygen for energy).
A colouring page that I created for my students as part of a module on seasides and oceans and the sustainability of fishing and farming in Britain. The page was inspired by lobster pots next to the harbour on the British Channel Island of Alderney. The local fishermen sell lobsters in the Channel Islands and in France and England. During World War Two fishing was restricted but a number of fishermen died when their nets got caught up on mines underwater.
An A4 page in black and white, that I created for my students as part of a biology lesson on adaptation to the environment.

- Coast
- Ocean
- Animals
- Habitat and Ecosystems

An A4 page in black and white, that students of any age can colour in for fun, or as part of a lesson or topic. Can be photocopied once downloaded.
Themes:

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.

A colouring page that I created for my geography students as part of a module on seasonal employment and life on Britain’s coast. The buildings are on Braye Beach on the small, British Channel Island of Alderney. They were originally used by fishermen to store their nets and boats, but were then taken over by soldiers in World War Two. Today they provide accommodation to seasonal workers and tourists who stay at the island’s ‘Braye Beach Hotel’.
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)
I created this picture of a lighthouse for my students as part of our module on oceans, seas, and hazardous journeys. But we also used it as part of work on engineering and constructing buildings in seemingly impossible places.
“The Alderney Lighthouse (also known as Mannez Lighthouse) is a stone lighthouse built on the North-East coast of the island of Alderney. It was constructed in 1912[1] to protect shipping from the dangerous waters of the Alderney Race and the numerous rocks surrounding Alderney”. (Wikipedia)
A colouring page that I created for my students as part of our lessons on engineering, buildings, coastal management, shipping, history, oceans, and seas, and jobs people do.

A colouring page that I created for my class as part of our geography lessons on coastal tourism in Britain. What do we like to do at the beach, why do people enjoy beach holidays, what is the difference between a sunrise and sunset? Based around the British Channel Island of Alderney.
A settlements themed colouring page that I created for my students as they learnt about the differences between hamlets, villages, towns, and cities. This is a picture of our local pub or public house on the tiny British Channel Island of Alderney which has a population of 1000 people. We spoke about what a pub is, and that you don’t get them in all countries in the world. They are something that are fairly common in Britain and a part of British culture.
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!".
A colouring page that I created for my geography and biology students as part of a module on habitats, ecology, plants, butterflies, and moths. Based on my visit to the British Channel Island of Alderney.

A colouring page I created for my students as part of our virtual field trip of Alderney in the British Channel Islands and the German World War Two bunkers.
“German WW2 bunker ‘The Odeon’ in Alderney. This is about 3 or 4 storeys high and has an anti-aircraft emplacement at the back. Alderney is said to have been the most heavily fortified of the Channel Islands. At one time the allies contemplated landing there as a rehearsal for D-Day”. (Wikipedia)
A colouring page that I created for my class as part of a geography and biology class on the ocean and shellfish, and shells being used in art and decoration. The shells are called Ormer on the British Channel Islands and are a local delicacy, in the USA they are known as abalone.
