With Barack Obama in the White House, the government’s main website has undergone some changes. It’s appearance is more formal and stately, and the Whitehouse.gov/kids page as been replaced with a more general page about The White House.
The coloring pages which were formerly located on the main Whitehouse.gov website have been moved to the George Bush website. This article is an update of and companion to the Free President’s Day Coloring Pages for Kids published last year.
It’s unclear whether the coloring pages at the archived website will be moving benefit to the main Whitehouse.gov website. An email to the Press Office has gone unanswered, as they obviously are very busy with very important things. For home schooling parents and teachers who find that using coloring pages in their curriculum, these resources are for you.
