Exploring Windy City Architecture
Chicago is famous for its towering skyscrapers and historic buildings. Adult colorists and older students can focus on the intricate line art of the downtown skyline, which features landmarks like the Willis Tower and the Gothic Revival architecture along the river.
When coloring these cityscapes, try using cool blues and grays for the glass facades, and add warm sunset tones to the sky over Lake Michigan. You can also detail the intricate steel structures of the drawbridges that cross the Chicago River, a favorite sight on the popular architecture boat tours.
Celebrating Chicago Sports
Sports are a massive part of the local culture. Fans often look for pages featuring their favorite teams. While we do not use official trademarked logos, our sports mascots capture the energy of the city's athletic traditions.
Kids can color a tough football bear charging down the field, a basketball bull going for a dunk, or a friendly bear cub playing baseball near an ivy-covered wall. These make great activities for game days or sports-themed classroom events.
Famous Sights and Civic Pride
Teachers planning a geography or US history lesson can use the landmarks and flag pages to introduce students to this Midwest metropolis. The Chicago flag features two pale blue stripes and four red six-pointed stars, representing historical events like the Great Chicago Fire.
Other pages highlight cultural staples, such as the famous reflective Cloud Gate sculpture (often called the Bean) and the classic neon marquee of the Chicago Theatre. Coloring a slice of deep-dish pizza adds a fun, relatable element to learning about regional American foods.
