Is coloring just for fun?

While some look at coloring as busy work that is just for fun, there are actually benefits to coloring.

First of all, it can be a way for children to develop fine motor skills. On top of offering crayons, provide colored pencils, markers and other materials. Children will practice a different grip with coloring utensils of different sizes.

Another fun idea is to add water colors. Children can then work on mixing colors and other art skills.

Not only will students work on find motor skills, it will also provide a creative outlet. Some students enjoy creating patterns or using unique color combinations. Encourage your children to use new colors.

Coloring can also offer a tool for relaxation. Some children might scribble to let out frustrations – this is ok!

I hope your children enjoy these fun pages I have created for them!

Creating your coloring books

Begin by printing the ten pages front to back – this will help you conserve paper.

Next, stack the pages and staple on the left.

Your coloring books are ready to go!

You might also choose to offer individual back to school coloring pages to students.
