Columbus Day is observed the second Monday of October each year here in the United States of America, and that date is quickly upon us! I created this set of Christopher Columbus coloring pages 7 years ago for my then little girls to color. During most of our history read alouds in those younger days, my girls would sit and color while I read page after page.
Those times are such wonderful memories for all of us!
Because these pages were a bit dated, I updated them for the 2022 fall season with a few new graphics and an updated writing font. Please re-download this set if you have the old version.

Hi Lucy!
I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. 🙂
Yes, I am quite aware of all of the history of Christopher Columbus. Despite his not-so-perfect qualities, he was a successful explorer and in our family, he is to be revered for his bravery and success.
