Printables coloring pages

It’s important to start children on easy images so that they can experience a sense of achievement. As their coloring skill improves, they can be given more complex patterns and images to color. Giving children books and pages to color is a highly effective way to help them become better artists and writers, to enable them to concentrate better, to reduce the likelihood that they will suffer from mental problems, and to teach them important life lessons and values. Children who begin coloring at a young age will enjoy the benefits it can bestow for years to come.

All kids like to color, but there are important reasons to encourage and guide this activity beyond the simple hedonistic impetus to have fun. Coloring Builds Fine Motor Skills – Perhaps the biggest benefit children get from coloring pages of animals or their favorite cartoon characters is the development of fine motor skills. This includes learning the proper way to hold the crayon, marker or colored pencil they are using to draw with. When supervising young children learning how to color use gentle instructions to encourage them to hold the writing implement near the tip, cradled between the tips of their thumb, index finger and middle finger. Many children grab the crayon in their fist. Correcting this improper usage is an important first step towards real penmanship.
