Oh, man. I love a good printable! They're great for kids (we use them on road trips all the time), and I enjoy creating free downloads to share here on the blog, though so far I've focused on creating printables for kids. But these Get to Know Your Ukulele printables are handy for all beginning ukulele players— kids and grown-ups alike.

Today I'm excited to be sharing a free coloring sheet. My talented friend made it just for the MM blog, and it's got me feeling like a giant heart-eyes emoji! I love the psychedelic effect of the background pattern and the hand-drawn quality of it— it feels so modern and fresh compared to the coloring pages I'm used to seeing.
Do you have any budding artists in your family? I'd love to see what you and your kiddos create with this. Please share your works of art over on the Musical Mama Facebook page!
I've printed out a few copies on cardstock so my kids can paint with watercolors on them. I think I'll have to paint one myself. :)
Happy coloring!
Free Song Sheet: Peace Like a River
Here's a simple, powerful song that I sing to find comfort on hard days. Peace Like a River is a sweet song with very simple lyrics that make it easy to improvise your own verses. It uses the 1, 4, and 5 chords, and in the video I play it in the key of C (with a little "help" from my daughter).
Download the free PDF so you can play along at home! Want to strum along to another version? Search Apple Music or Spotify (or wherever you stream your music) for Elizabeth Mitchell's version, which is also in the key of C. Happy strumming!
Free Printable: A Music-Themed Word Search
Do your kids love activity pages? Word searches are a big hit in my house, and I thought it would be fun to create a music-themed word puzzle to share here on the blog. I've created two versions: a simplified version for early readers and a more challenging version for school-aged children. Bonus points go to the grown-ups who play their ukuleles while their kids work on the word search!
