ColorMyTown.com is brought to you by the good people of Opportunity Knocks, Inc. - The Cartoon Map people. We are proud of our community coloring book, as we believe it is important for children to learn about the towns and cities in which they live. You’ve probably heard that old cliché “The children are our future” [Please don’t break out in a moon walk] The truth is … they really are. Our goals are to: 1) Help educate children on the different businesses in a community. 2) Show children how each job is important and how we all work together. 3) Teach children how businesses need to be profitable to provide jobs, goods, and services in our towns. If you are interested in participating in our community coloring book, please go to www.ColorMyTown.com or call us at 1-877-386-6277. © 2006 Opportunity Knocks, Inc. All rights reserved
A Community Coloring and Activity Book
A note to parents:
These pages were designed to help your child learn through participation and activity about the many different businesses out there. We encourage you to explain how each business contributes to the greater good of the community.
A note to teachers:
We hope to illustrate for your student the wonderful workings of our community. We hope that each child knows that ALL jobs and businesses play an important role in our society.
To the business owner:
It is our goal to educate children about how businesses function and how businesses are vitally important to our community. Most children do not understand how jobs are created and how much investment is placed back into the community.
