Animals Building Character: An Activities Book to Color

by Justice Saint Rain

Come explore our character-building activities book! We designed it for your entire family to enjoy. Young children will love coloring the charming pictures of animals and the use of alliterative virtue and animal names to illustrate positive behavior. They will meet compassionate cows, loving lions, patient peacocks and many more friendly animals. Parents will appreciate the guided activities they can do along with their early-readers. Older children will spend hours exploring the word searches and mazes, reading about how different virtues can make them happier, and answering thought-provoking questions about the things they like and the people they know.Scattered throughout these pages you will also find fun facts about animals, song suggestions to brighten your day, letters to unscramble, and hundreds of fascinating quotations from famous (and not so famous) people sharing their insights into the meaning and value of different character strengths.This is an activities book you will want to come back to day after day, week after week, and even year after year. Every time you flip through its pages you will discover something new to think about and explore.Note to encourage you to spend a few minutes looking through the activities with your child. The age-appropriateness of the activities ranges from very young for the coloring pages, and mid-elementary school for the word searches and mazes, all the way up to pre-teen for some quotations and activities. Many challenging activities can be made easier if done alongside an adult. Offering to read definitions and quotations, or joining in on the word searches will increase your children’s enjoyment. For older kids, we suggest that you encourage them to pick and choose activities that catch they eye rather than starting at the beginning and working their way through. Maybe they will start with fun animal facts, a maze, or the list of playful jokes. Others will be inspired to write a thank-you note to someone who did something nice for them, or answer a deep personal question. There is no wrong way to do these activities. It would bring joy to our hearts to discover that a child did a few activities at a time over the course of many years.

About the author

My goal as a writer is not to say what I have to say in the best way possible, but to say what my readers need to hear when they are alone and confused and feel that no one in the world could possibly understand what they are going through.
I write to comfort, to enlighten, and to inspire.
I believe three things:
That the purpose of life is to develop our virtues.
That virtues are the signs of God reflected in the human heart.
That our emotions help us recognize and follow these signs.

The implications of these three simple observations could fill volumes - and that is what I am trying to do. I invite your insights and input.
