Happy Spring and Happy Easter!

As long-time followers to the site know, I have not been sharing much new material lately, having been sidetracked with some ongoing and new (non-COVID related) health issues the past few months. More about that in a coming post soon.

Suffice it to say, today’s post is all about Easter and Artwork and spending Quality Time with the kids.

Specifically, we wanted to announce that my story character friend Little Red Bear has just added special “Easter Holiday” Coloring Images to the site, just in time to color up a bunch of Easter Artwork and Greeting Message Cards for Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, neighbors, and friends for the coming Easter Holiday!

Coloring images are available for unlimited Free downloads simply by ‘Right Clicking’ on an image, choosing Save Image As’ in the dropdown menu to save a local copy on your computer or device, and then printing out as many as you would like. You will find a mix of very basic and simple images for the youngest colorists, and more complex images for older children and adults to enjoy.

We invite to you haul out the crayons and markers, sit down with the kids, and have a fun time coloring and sharing original artwork this Easter Season.

Simply visit Little Red Bear’s Easter Holiday Coloring Pages to get started.

Growing My Hair Out To Support Children With Hair Loss

Happy December!  Happy Holiday Season!

But before we get into holiday season topics and features, taking a few minutes today to talk about another issue dear to my heart – Children With Hair Loss.

Seeing sick and ailing children in hospitals has always torn at my heartstrings. While having actively supported St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital thru the years, I have always sought out ways to do more, and have recently discovered another way to help the children. And it costs nothing, really.

In recent days, some folks here have approached and asked me about my increasingly long hair. “What’s up with the ponytail, Jim?” Here is the inside scoop for everyone.

What began as more of a lark when the COVID shutdown occurred last spring, growing out a ponytail just for fun because I could not get to a barber anyway, continued afterward when restrictions eased just to see what it would do, aided by my lifelong disdain for barbers and costly haircuts in general.

I had always wanted to grow a ponytail just for fun and had made more than a few aborted attempts along the way, always grabbing the scissors when my hair reached five inches or so, not having the nerve to really go thru with it. But always in the back of my mind were the mental images of some of my heroes, all sporting ponytails (or “queues” as they were called in the early days) at one point or another in their lives – George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Willie Nelson, George Carlin, and others. Admittedly, some may have been wigs in colonial times, but still a simply smashing good look!

So, with a beginning boost from the COVID shutdown in spring, my personal “Ponytail Project” has now evolved into purposely growing my hair out with a reason.

I am supporting and joining in the efforts of a large (and growing) number of men who are growing their hair out to support the organization “Children With Hair Loss”, a non-profit organization that provides human hair replacements at No Cost to children and young adults facing medically-related hair loss due to Cancer treatments, Alopecia, Trichotillomania, Burns, etc. Beginning in the year 2,000 and helping children and young adults across the nation, Children With Hair Loss has assisted over 5,000 nationwide thru 2019.

A 2019 event sponsored by ‘The Longhairs’ organization I am participating with set a Guinness World Record, generating 339 pounds of hair donations and $50,000 in support of the Children With Hair Loss efforts.  The next big donation event – “The Great Cut 2024” is scheduled for some time in 2024 (exact date to be determined later), at which time they are working to do even more and set another Guinness World Record. At that point, I will donate my hair to be part of it all.

So, that is why I am growing my hair out – to help the kids. Because the painful effects of the treatments these children have to endure are far more than physical, and deeper than merely cosmetic.  Self-image is a very important thing when one is a youngster, teen, or young adult. Emotional scars are just as or more painful than the physical, with emotional damage perhaps everlasting.

If you would like to join with me in the cause and save a bundle of cash in barber and hair salon expenses over the next four years, I would be honored to grow along with you. There will be opportunities to donate and/or participate from anywhere in the world.

Donated hair must be at least 8” long, with the strongly preferred length 12” and longer. It can be grey or any color, dyed, or treated, but cannot be bleached. On average, human hair grows approximately ½” per month, so now is the time to start.

In the meantime and as time goes on, your support and encouragement are greatly appreciated while I simply Keep on Growing!

I will update with progress reports here from time to time as we go along and eagerly look forward to hearing from others who may be growing their hair out for the children, as well.

Right now, with the early head start last spring, my hair is already 9” long. With the kids in mind and along with the other men, I am shooting for a length of 24” to 30” by 2024. Please wish me luck and just call me “Hippie Jim” if you like.

Will you grow along with me to help the Children With Hair Loss efforts? It is for a very good cause and is yet another opportunity to help make a positive difference in someone’s life.

Thanks always for visiting and reading along! Very best wishes for a Happy & Healthy Holiday Season!  Keep on Growing!  – ‘Hippie’ Jim

Announcing the Launch of “Little Red Bear’s Animal Alphabet Coloring Pages!”

It has been in the planning stages for over a year . . . .

It has been in preparation and development for months . . . .

You have heard and read about it in the news (well maybe not) . . . .

It’s coming! It’s big! It’s stupendous! It’s monumental!

It’s Here!

My story friend Little Red Bear and I are pleased as blackberry punch to introduce Red’s new set of pages for the youngsters in the crowd —

“Little Red Bear’s Animal Alphabet Coloring Pages!”


Together with mathematics, learning the alphabet provides a solid foundation for learning and all knowledge.  Understanding the alphabet sets the stage for learning how to read, write, and continue growing throughout a child’s future development. Mastering the alphabet opens up a whole new world of reading and learning about the world. Reading is fundamental to a child’s development and it all begins with learning the alphabet. That is the starting point.

The alphabet can be taught at an early age, beginning at home before even entering preschool. My story character friend Little Red Bear and I decided to combine children’s’ natural love of animals and nature with fun coloring activities to help make learning the alphabet more enjoyable and entertaining for little ones, while also educating about the natural world at an early stage of development.  So, we came up with “Little Red Bear’s Animal Alphabet Coloring Pages!”

Each alphabet letter page features a colorful image of the alphabet letter, blank coloring pages of the featured animal, and coloring images for selected other animals whose names begin with the letter too, together with some fun facts and information about the different animals featured. Combining education with fun. That is the Little Red Bear way!

Coloring images are available for unlimited Free downloads simply by ‘Right Clicking’ on an image, choosing ‘Save Image As’ in the dropdown menu to save a local copy on your computer or device, and then printing out as many as you want. Each letter page features a simplified and basic coloring image for the very young, along with more detailed images for older kids. Or, for Mom and Dad to color along at the same time.

It is our hope that these pages provide a basis for not only learning the alphabet and a little bit about animals and the natural world around us along the way, but also for spending quality family time together — reading, coloring, and learning.


Here are some links to get you and the little ones started . . . .


This website is mostly Self Funded. The Animal Alphabet Coloring Pages are made possible only with the assistance of our Patreon Community and independent donations to sponsor pages. Future images will come in sequence as funds are available.

At present, we are up to “The Letter “D” is for “Dinosaur”” and hope to keep adding pages as quickly as we can for those confined at home due to the ongoing COVID pandemic.

Each image has been purchased and licensed thru Shutterstock in order to secure user rights and be able to provide easily accessible downloads for our readers and their children. The coloring images here are offered Free Of Charge because that is just how we roll here.

If you would like to help support the project or our site in general, please consider joining our Patreon Community today for as little as $1.00 a month.

Or by Sponsoring a Letter Page(s) directly, in which case the sponsor’s name will be included on the page unless they wish to remain anonymous as a couple of kind folks did recently to help jump-start the project.

The cost of three images for each page is $10.00, and we always like to include more for the kids when we can. We truly appreciate and love the members of our Patreon Community for all they allow us to do and for sharing in our vision of helping to make the world a better place. For everyone!


“My alphabet starts with this letter called “yuzz”.

It’s the letter I use to spell “yuzz-a-ma-tuzz”.

You’ll be sort of surprised what there is to be found,

once you go beyond “Z” and start poking around ”

– Dr. Seuss


Thank you for stopping by to visit with us today!

We hope that children and families enjoy and benefit from the new pages and are as delighted with them as Little Red Bear and I are to bring them to you.

Please visit often as we add more pages and work our way thru the alphabet. We will also be adding more generalized nature-themed and holiday coloring pages in the near future, so please keep an eye out for those, too!

To get you started, please feel free to download the Family Image below,  print out as many copies as you need, gather the family together over a bowl of popcorn, and color together ’til the cows come home!

Patrons also help my friend Little Red Bear and me to continue this as a non-monetized, ad-free site,  dedicated solely to entertainment and educational purposes while sharing positive messages of happiness, inspiration, and kindness with everyone. We invite you to join us in making a positive difference in the world!
