DEDICATED TO SENDING COMFORT TO SICK CHILDREN AND TEENS IN THE HOSPITAL
Everyone know that staying in hospital is never fun, but thousands of children and teens often have no choice. Some are there for an illness with no known cure, or if there is a cure, it’s sometimes worse than the illness itself. Some are there for other reasons such as surgeries, a broken bone, or even a severe cold. Regardless of why these children are in the hospital, most kids do not enjoy being confined to the same room or bed all day. While we can’t prevent these children from having to stay in the hospital, we can make that stay more positive.
Pages for Children, Inc. sends Creative Care Packages to terminally children while in the hospital. All Creative Care Packages include a drawing set with crayons, markers, water paints, and chalk; a drawing pad; coloring book; puzzle book; and a reading book. We feel that if the children can't exercise their bodies, they should be able to exercise their minds. Other children staying in the hospital with non-terminal illnesses will receive various kinds of books birthday cards and appropriate holiday cards (each with a personal message inside), as well as other items. We would love to hand deliver each gift but due to strict privacy policies at these hospitals, we are unable to. We have to let the nurses represent Pages for Children on our behalf.
Other organizations, which provide gifts and cards to hospitalized children, simply provide contact information for specific children. However, Pages for Children does the hard work for the donator. We take care of locating the children, compiling the gifts, and sending them out to hospitals.
Children and teens that Pages for Children helps need all the special attention they can get. Sadly, many of them may never recover from their illness. While this program can not improve their physical health, it can bring smiles to their faces, and everyone knows a happy child is always healthier. These children need to know that they are loved and are NOT alone! We're hoping you will help u send this very important message to them.
By donating to Pages for Children, Inc.—whether it's books, cards, a stuffed toy, or money—YOU are “Helping Children Smile One Page At A Time!” If you are unsure of what to donate, here are items we are in constant need of. You can help let these children and teens know they are loved and truly special.

Coloring pages
Because we have changed the way we reach these children, Pages for Children, Inc. will no longer be adding coloring pages to our site each month. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you would like to get free coloring page samples through your email go to Dover Publication to sign up.
You can find all of the coloring pages we have sent here.
