Presidents Day Activities for Homeschool Kids: Printable Coloring & Learning Pages

Presidents Day activities for young homeschool kids work best as a short, story-first coloring session: five big, uncluttered pages that introduce George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, plus one plain-language info sheet that explains, in words a kindergartner can follow, what a president does and why we honor them. Print, color, read the sheet aloud together — about twenty minutes, no prep.

What is Presidents Day, in words little kids understand?

The mini pack's own info sheet, “Why We Honor Presidents,” puts it this way: Presidents Day is in February (in 2027 it falls on Monday, February 15). It is a day to honor the people who have been president of the United States, especially George Washington, the very first president, who helped lead the country when it was brand new, and Abraham Lincoln, who worked hard to keep the country together and to help make life fairer for everyone. A president helps lead the country, works with other leaders to make fair rules, helps take care of the country, and speaks for the people of the United States. And it ends where a homeschool morning should: it is a good time to learn how we can be kind, fair, and helpful leaders, too.

What is in the Presidents Day mini pack?

Five coloring pages, each with the Cozy Collie pup in the scene, drawn big and simple for crayons, colored pencils, or markers:

• The pup in front of the White House, waving a small American flag
• The pup wearing a tall top hat beside a log cabin (Lincoln)
• The pup planting a young cherry tree, with a basket of cherries (Washington)
• The pup at a desk, reading a giant book with a quill and ink pot
• The pup in a parade with flags, balloons, and people in historical dress

Plus the full-color cover and the “Why We Honor Presidents” info sheet — 7 pages in all, US Letter size, print at home as many times as your family needs. It is strictly non-partisan: historical presidents only, no modern politicians, no party logos, no campaign material.

How do you run it as a homeschool morning?

1. Start with the free White House page (the free sample page from this pack) while you read the info sheet aloud — two minutes of story before anyone asks a question.

2. Tell one story per president. Washington and the brand-new country; Lincoln, the tall top hat, and keeping the country together. The cherry-tree and log-cabin pages give little kids a picture to hold onto for each one.

3. Finish with the parade page and one question: “What would a kind, fair, helpful leader do?” — the info sheet's own closing idea, and the only worksheet-free discussion prompt you need.

Can I try a page free?

Yes — the White House coloring page is the free sample page from this pack, on one printable page. If your kids want the other four pages and the info sheet, the full mini is in the Cozy Collie Etsy shop, at the shop link on this page.

And if Election Day has you thinking about civics all year: the same pup stars in six mini packs — Election Day, Veterans Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, and Constitution Day — each 7 pages with its own “why we…” info sheet. Bought separately they total $15.00; the American Civics All-Year Bundle is $10.00.

FAQ

When is Presidents Day 2027?

Monday, February 15, 2027. The mini pack works any time in February — or any time you are studying early American history.

What ages is the Presidents Day mini pack for?

It is drawn and written for kindergarten and elementary kids — big, plain shapes for younger colorers, and an info sheet a parent or teacher reads aloud. Older elementary kids can read the sheet themselves.

Which presidents does it cover?

George Washington and Abraham Lincoln — the two presidents Presidents Day especially honors. It is historical and non-partisan throughout: no modern politicians and no campaign material.

Is this a Christian product?

Cozy Collie is a Christian homeschool shop, and this pack is classroom- and Sunday-school-friendly, but the mini itself is a history product — it teaches the two presidents and what a president does, and makes no scripture claims. Families who want verse-based coloring will find it in the shop's Bible verse books instead.

What do I get, and how do I print it?

One 7-page US Letter (8.5×11") PDF, delivered instantly. Print at home or at a local print shop, as many copies as your own family or classroom needs. For markers, use thicker paper or slip a sheet behind the page.

Who makes the Presidents Day Mini Coloring Pack?

Cozy Collie is created by Brittany, a homeschool mom of three in Iowa. Her rough collie Cozy appears in every scene, and you can find the shop as @cozycollieshop on Etsy, Pinterest, and Facebook.
