HELP!!! I know we have a mixed group of ladies here ethnically, so I'm hoping someone can help me out. My church is located in a VERY predominately African-American area. I usually have two white sisters show up, and anywhere from 4-10 Black kids. Ages are from 4-11. We usually sing, then have a lesson. My youngest kids are often given a coloring paper at a table while the older ones do a different kind of activity (word search, crossword, whatever). Next week, we're doing a lesson on Godly friends. I'm looking for some kind of coloring page for the younger ones that show children playing together. I've found a few, BUT they all seem to have white children. I found one that is mixed, but it's a very small picture, maybe four-inch square. Because of the make-up of my group, I want pictures of either Black children, or mixed. I don't mind one or two pictures of white children alone, but I don't want JUST white kids. I've searched on-line and am coming up with NOTHING. Do any of you know of any places I can go for free coloring pictures that will work? THANKS!!!
I run into this sort of problem all the time... needing a particular picture and not finding it. If I can't find anything, I make a word document using clip-art. Right click on the image, select "format picture" and then change it to black & white. Adjust the bright/contrast to make it more like a coloring page. If you know how to use something like photoshop, you can sometimes erase unnecessary backgrounds from images as well. Let me see if I can find pictures for you online.

Thanks, that really helped! One or two of what you had I already found, but they were tiny. I couldn't get them bigger. For some reason, yours I was able to print full-page, which is what I wanted!
