Coloring Birmingham
   
It’s time to color Birmingham.

For kids and adults coloring reduces stress and anxiety, improves motor skills, helps you focus, improves sleep, and lets you unleash your inner artistic genius. We have taken historic photos from the Birmingham Public Library Archives and made them into coloring pages. Click on the image, download, print, color, and enjoy.

Use the hashtag #ColoringBham to share your coloring creations with us on social media. We can't wait to see how you color Birmingham.
