You would think that after your child has completed their masterpiece that would be the end. Well it’s not over yet! Teaching your little one(s) to actually search for their own coloring pages introduces children to the Internet. By teaching them to do so your little one will develop hand eye coordination by using the keyboard and mouse. Their skills on how to search for the information that they are looking for will prove to be invaluable in latter years. Before long I’m sure your child will start to teach you a thing or two about the Internet that you didn’t know. Coloring pages are also a great party activity for your child’s birthday party. You can use your free coloring pages to have a coloring contest where of course everyone wins a prize as another fun activity. Keep in mind that these are coloring pages that you can keep in your kid’s scrapbook forever. This simple activity will become something that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Improves Hand to Eye Coordination – When children are giving pictures to color, they definitely will hold the crayon and from time to time will check what they have done so far, to determine the next color to use. These activities will help them greatly in their hand and eye coordination. They also have to make sure that the colors does not go beyond the expected line and are required to sharpen the crayons from time to time. Ability to recognize colors – Constant use of different colors as they color different pages will enable them to know and can comfortably tell which color is which. It also teaches them color combination from a very early age and by the time they grow up, they could have become masters in the act of effectively combining colors.
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.
A well-categorized coloring site is a great resource for teachers and parents, as well as for kids themselves. And the best sites have preformatted the pictures for easy printing. My favorite coloring site features two different kinds of coloring. First, there's the click-to-color pages, where very young children click on the color they want, then click on the part of the picture where they want to apply the color. This site features some 140 animals images that can be colored in this manner.
