The challenge is...Can you colour this page in and make sure you NEVER have the same 2 colours next to each other? Of course they can, but it does require some thought and take some time to complete :) You can also just let your class colour in any way they want to for a super abstract piece of art. Suitable for ages 4 - 104 so why not get your pencils out and have a colour yourself? Blow the page up to A3 for an even longer lesson!
