While I encourage blank paper coloring for free expression as often as possible, for many preschoolers pre-printedĬoloring pages are their first exposure to printed boundaries. While a toddler or preschooler might scribble all over a coloring sheet, with no respect for the boundaries (lines on the coloring page), as the child gets older, they willīegin to respect those lines, and make an effort to color between them. Later begin to be developed while coloring.ħ) Focus - Paying attention to a single task for a length of time is necessary forĬoloring and for all sorts of things throughout one's life.Ĩ) Boundaries - Another thing that children learn from coloring pages, with preprinted pictures on them, is how to acceptīoundaries. Scribbling, or coloring the 'best picture ever', coloring can be a way to de-stress, after a busy morning of school work, wind down, and calm down, after the stresses of a day at school orĤ) Grip/Control - many children learn how to hold a pencil, pen, marker, or colored pencil, by first learning how to hold a crayon. Through words and through writing, many use art.ģ) Therapy - for many people (myself included) coloring is therapeutic. It is important to give children a chance to express themselves, and not all children express themselves You can tell a lot about the wayĪ person is feeling by the images that they draw, the colors that they use, etc. Our goal is to constantly build our pictures to color online and we will be adding new pictures to color every week.Our most popular coloring page categories:Īliens, castles, dragons, fairies, kings, myths, etcįlowers, fruit, rainbows, trees, weather, etcĬommunity helpers, pirates, teachers, etcġ) Self expression - coloring on a blank 'canvas' (piece of paper), is a way for children and adults alike to express themselves.
