Say No to Drugs Coloring Pages give you 57 printable sheets for the October awareness week. The tone here is warm rather than stern, which is what makes it usable with elementary children.

Where a poster tells students what to avoid, these pages hand them something to make. That difference matters when the audience is seven years old.

The awareness ribbon holds the middle of most pages, its two tails crossing and falling away below the loop. A face sits in the crossed section, eyes wide, mouth open in a grin. Because one tail passes in front of the other, children have to decide which shade goes where.

Around it sit friendly objects. A daisy on a stem with two leaves and a smiling center. An apple with a small leaf at the stem. A five point star with rounded corners and a wide smile. A sprig of leaves angled into the white space.

One sheet spells SMILE across the bottom in tall hollow capitals. Others place RED RIBBON WEEK at the top in the same style. Hearts, small flowers, open stars, and scattered dots complete each page.
