Coloring sheets distributed during Red Ribbon Week often depict drug-free themes and positive messages. These visual aids serve as educational tools, particularly for younger children, and may feature images of healthy activities, slogans promoting a drug-free lifestyle, or characters making positive choices.
Such materials are valuable for raising awareness about substance abuse prevention among youth. The act of coloring provides a hands-on activity that reinforces the week’s message and encourages open discussion between children and adults. This initiative stems from the Red Ribbon campaign, established in memory of DEA Agent Enrique Camarena, and serves as a catalyst for community involvement in promoting healthy lifestyles.
