This fun program allows students to color and texture various symbols and landmarks of South Dakota online such as the South Dakota quarter, statehood stamp, and Mt. Rushmore.
Mount Rushmore is a massive monument in South Dakota featuring the carved faces of four U.S. presidents—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. It symbolizes the nation’s history, leadership, and democratic ideals.
The South Dakota state flag features the state seal surrounded by golden rays of sunlight on a sky-blue background, symbolizing the state’s nickname, “The Mount Rushmore State.” The seal depicts the state’s natural beauty, agriculture, and industry, representing prosperity and hard work.
The South Dakota state quarter, released in 2006, features two American bison grazing near the rugged Badlands landscape. The design highlights the state’s natural beauty and rich wildlife heritage.
Read the description carefully and imagine the scene in your mind, paying attention to the colors, shapes, and details. Then, draw the picture as you see it, including as many elements from the description as you can.
