Color a Peaceful World - Peace Coloring Books
Children enjoy creating their own peace coloring pictures and coloring peace posters, too. Participating in arts and crafts with peace themes provides children with a natural approach to learning about harmony, respect, and peaceful coexistence.
Teach Peace
If we are going to bring about
peace in the world,
we have to begin with the children
-Mahatma Gandhi
Make Art Not War - Peace as a Coloring Theme and Lesson Plan
Pictures about peaceful living and peace symbols spark thoughts about life
Children and adults learn through a variety of methods including visual, written and participatory experiences. Art and crafts are enjoyable pastimes that can incorporate peace themes to promote the concepts and goals of peace and tolerance.It's easy to introduce peace as an important life objective to children at an early age through peace coloring pictures. Reinforcement of the concepts of peace can continue through adulthood using peace coloring books, peace posters and peace arts and crafts.
By providing coloring books with peace themes, peace symbols or peace signs we provide opportunities for young children to learn important lessons about how to live harmoniously in a challenging environment. Peace coloring pages that present images of caring, kindness and alternatives to aggressive behavior teach children how to respect differences and work through conflict cooperatively. By coloring peace pictures and talking about peaceful actions, children learn about peace and peaceful approaches to promoting change in their world.
Children also enjoy creating their own peace coloring pictures. Children's hand drawn peace coloring pictures are creative and inspiring, and reveal how children conceptualize and think about peace through artful expression.

The Colors of Peace
Blue is the primary peace color; other cultures use green or the rainbow spectrum to represent peace in art.
The United Nations is the world's peace organization. Its official colors are white and blue. The UN flag features a white globe encircled by white laurel branches on a light blue background.
The blue color that appears in the background of the insignia was chosen to be "the opposite of red, the war color". ... The olive branches are a symbol for peace, and the world map represents all the people of the world. - Wikipedia - Flag of the United Nations
In some non-Western cultures, green also represents peace. Many international organizational symbols and works of art with a global peace theme use blue and green together.
More recently, the rainbow spectrum (red,orange, yellow, green, blue, violet) has become a popular way to use color for symbolizing peace and tolerance.">
