Stay-at-home boredom might have driven you to dust off your coloring books. These four teens created their own. Ella Matlock, Erin Rogers, Lauryn Hong and Sofia Migliazza, 15, made a business plan to sell COVID-themed coloring books for charity as part of an economics class project. But their idea didn't end when the class did.

Together the girls wrote and designed the educational Covid Coloring Book. The book features friendly animal characters like Al E. Gator, Sam the Snail and Wally the Narwhal as they explain the benefits of wearing a mask and washing your hands. 

"The coloring book gives kids the information without totally overloading them," Ella Matlock told CNN.

Forty-percent of the book's five-dollar purchase price goes to a charity of the buyer's choice. Plus, each book comes with a *free* face mask. You can order your own Covid Coloring Book on their website (or buy one as a gift for a sib!). 

In the meantime, Ella, Erin, Lauryn and Sofia are hard at work on their next book, Stand Up for Your-shell-ves, which will discuss racism and other kinds of discrimination with the help of Sam the Snail. 

We can't wait to see what these gals tackle next!
