Recycling Colored Pages for Schoolwork

My son came up to me a couple of hours ago and told me that he needed to come up with an art project for a language class. They were assigned to create something featuring idioms. My son wanted to make it colorful because they apparently get plus points.

Since I have been into coloring and he has also been into it, I suggested featuring coloring pages he's done and then finding idioms that fit the design. This is the end result.


Idiom; dragon lady - a ruthlessly powerful woman


Idiom: on the side of angels - supporting the good side


Idiom: promise me the moon - to promise things you cannot fulfill


Idiom: hold your horses - wait a moment


Idiom: lounge lizard - a man who wants to get rich by marrying a rich woman


Idiom: snails pace - being very slow


Idiom: barking at the wrong tree - to make the wrong assumption


Idiom: 800 lbs gorilla - someone so powerful they feel that they do not need to follow the rules


Idiom: wake up and smell the coffee - pay attention


Idiom: green fingers - good in gardening

B was the one who colored all these pages and wrote the idioms. I only guided him. I felt so happy that we were able to really utilize the coloring pages he made for a school project.


It feels really good when you get to help out your son with the things that you love.
