Proverbs From Around the World

Miguel Cervantes said, “Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experience.” These sayings can have a lot of deep meaning and impact. They help teach our young and remind our old. Perhaps that is why proverbs are passed on through the generations. There are so many from around the world that make you think!

I’ve created these proverbs coloring posters and coloring postcards for you to enjoy.
