These simple instructions will help you create a positive and enjoyable coloring experience for your child:

Before Coloring

• Choose a quiet, well-lit space free from distractions.
• Provide a variety of safe coloring tools such as crayons, colored pencils, or washable markers.
• Keep a stack of printed coloring pages available so your child has plenty of choices.

During Coloring

• Encourage your child to experiment with colors and patterns without worrying about perfection.
• Praise their effort, not just the final result, to boost confidence.
• Join in and color alongside your child — it’s a fun bonding activity!

After Coloring

• Display finished artwork on walls, the fridge, or a special folder to celebrate creativity.
• Talk about the colors and shapes they used to build vocabulary and observation skills.
• Save favorite pages as keepsakes or create a homemade coloring book.

Parent Tip: Regular coloring sessions can improve focus, creativity, and relaxation — for kids and adults alike!
