Making Augmented Coloring Pages Meaningful...

I get asked all the time how do you use Quiver's coloring pages in a meaningful way other than an
attention grabber?

I recently shared in the July Quiver EDU newsletter ways to use the Penguin and the Kea bird pages. (https://goo.gl/hwZaY6) 

• Going Beyond the Coloring Page
