The
Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts designated Feb. 22 World Thinking Day. This day is dedicated to multicultural
awareness of children around the world. Little girls growing up in the 1960s
may remember a coloring book called "Dolls of Many Lands" with
children around the world in traditional costumes and native dress of different
countries. Here are free printable coloring pages of children around the world
in native dress. Students in social studies can use these coloring pages on
World Thinking Day to explore the ceremonial, cultural and traditional costumes
of other children around the world. Because as the world gets smaller and more
global, it's important that children know and remember native heritage.
