Ways to Use This Coloring Page
Simple ideas for using this printable at home, school, libraries, or quiet creative time.
Chicago’s towers rise in a tight row of glass, steel, and stepped rooftops with birds drifting between them. Chicago helped invent the skyline itself, because the Home Insurance Building completed here in 1885 is widely counted as the world’s first skyscraper.
Cut paper strips in several different heights and stand them side by side to build a skyline of your own. Line them up shortest to tallest, then shuffle them, and decide which arrangement looks more like a real city.
Grounded in Harvard's serve and return research
- Which building here is the tallest, and how can you tell without measuring?
- What is different about the very top of each tower?
- Why might a city build upward instead of outward?
- What do you think is happening inside all those windows right now?
- What would you add to this skyline to make it yours?
