A boy and a girl kneel on a school hallway floor and gather books together on this kindness begins with me coloring page, under a title in big hollow letters. A row of lockers, a classroom door and a bulletin board line the wall behind them. It is a medium page for ages 5 to 9, with most of the detail in the lockers and the children's clothes.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "the words Kindness Begins with Me in big hollow letters at the top of the page, above a smiling boy kneeling to help a girl pick up the books she dropped on the school hallway floor, drawn with clean outlines, both children kept small enough to leave a wide white margin below them, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page". The hallway scene on this sheet is the drawing that idea produced.

How to use it

A teacher can bring it out during a kindness week and ask what the class would do if a classmate dropped their books in the hallway. Each child can name one way to help at school before picking up a crayon. A school counselor can ask a small group how the girl might feel when a friend kneels down to help her. At home, a family can talk about a time someone helped them.
