Coloring is critical to the total development of a kid. It is one activity that can teach your child a lot about the correct use of colors and also the coloring pages that are used can teach him other important facts. It is also a great way to keep the kids busy and engaged, and provide some quiet time for everyone. It isn't unusual to see many distinct colors in precisely the same litter of kittens.

Now, everyone is always concerned about time, namely, having too little time. Too many things take up too much time. Errands take time, laundry takes time, meals take time. Add a child or two into the mix and time is of even greater importance. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Lost time is never found again." However, I would have to disagree with Mr. Franklin because of one crucial reason; Benjamin Franklin did not have the Internet. Since I don't believe this quote to be true, the question must be asked; how do I propose we win back our lost time? As far as I'm concerned, it is in this realm of free colouring pages that save the day.

Online Coloring Pages – The computer and the internet have opened an entirely new spectrum of coloring and drawing. Adults now make very sizable livings creating, drawing and coloring pictures for computer animation including video games, movies, commercials and items most adults would never consider, such as some high-quality information websites. With this option available as a full-fledged career for adults, it is no wonder that the tools and formats used in this style of artwork have carried down to children, albeit on a smaller scale. Kids are now able to draw online and even animate the drawings. In addition to this, one of the most popular forms of online entertainment is basic online coloring pages. If the coloring books of yesterday are fading away, coloring pages for kids on the internet have definitely taken their place. The coloring pages for kids can contain any style of picture imaginable, and some websites, such as TheDollPalace.com, create their own coloring pages using some of the site's most popular dolls.

Coloring Page Communities – Some websites offer very basic coloring pages for kids that can be printed off and colored. Others create interactive coloring pages that require children to work on the computer itself to color the images. Unlike the basic websites, the interactive coloring pages are often found on more complex websites that act as a full-fledged community. The coloring pages are only one of many things available to do on a particular site. On TheDollPalace.com, for example, dolls of every shape and size are available for children to play with and create, and then favorites are created into coloring pages. When dolls and coloring pages are complete, there are still interesting articles to read, personalities about the dolls to create, contests to take part in, and even forums and chats to visit to get to know other doll and coloring enthusiasts.
