A Free Shakespeare Coloring Book: While Away the Hours Coloring in Illustrations of 35 Classic Plays

From the peo­ple who brought you the Vic­to­ri­an Illus­trat­ed Shake­speare Archive comes an Illus­trat­ed Shake­speare Col­or­ing Book–a col­or­ing book fea­tur­ing illus­tra­tions of 35 dif­fer­ent Shake­speare plays. (All illus­tra­tions come from a nine­teenth edi­tion of The Plays of William Shake­speare.) The col­or­ing book’s cre­ator, Michael Good­man, tell us: “It’s obvi­ous­ly free to use and I hope in these days of home school­ing par­ents might find it a sim­ple way to engage their kids with Shake­speare.” Access the col­or­ing book here.
