Page Camélia January 12, 2021 Coloring Pages
They are also popular because they can enhance the brain and they are useful because they help with the imagination of a child, and the way he perceives colors and shapes. It is recommended that a child should use colors and get used to coloring book from an early age, so that his creative side can grow and he can even become a painter or any other kind of artist. Another popular line of coloring pages for kids is the one with Barbie, the perfect doll, wanted by every little girl in the world. Coloring pages with Barbie can be found almost everywhere and they represent Barbie and her friends and family, along with Ken, in different landscapes and even stories.
The benefits of coloring pages: 1) Self expression – coloring on a blank ”canvas” (piece of paper), is a way for children and adults alike to express themselves. You can tell a lot about the way a person is feeling by the images that they draw, the colors that they use, etc. It is important to give children a chance to express themselves, and not all children express themselves through words and through writing, many use art. 2) Color recognition. 3) Therapy – for many people (myself included) coloring is therapeutic. Regardless of whether it’s 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 or work. 4) Grip/Control – many children learn how to hold a pencil, pen, marker, or colored pencil, by first learning how to hold a crayon. The small muscles needed for penmanship later begin to be developed while coloring. 5) Coordination. 6) Building motor skills. 7) Focus – Paying attention to a single task for a length of time is necessary for coloring and for all sorts of things throughout one’s life. 8) Boundaries – Another thing that children learn from coloring pages, with preprinted pictures on them, is how to accept 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 will begin to respect those lines, and make an effort to color between them. While I encourage blank paper coloring for free expression as often as possible, for many preschoolers pre-printed coloring pages are their first exposure to printed boundaries. This early exposure to boundaries in print, will be a huge help when handwriting time comes around, and the child has to respect the boundaries of the preprinted handwriting lines on the paper. 9) Milestone – This is the last little ”importance” of coloring that I will mention for now, and that is that coloring in the lines is a milestone, a sense of accomplishment, the first step towards a successful academic career for many children. For many children coloring in the lines is just as important as counting to 10, counting to 100, reciting the alphabet, learning the multiplication facts, and so forth. It’s a milestone that says ”yes I can” do whatever I come across, and it provides children with pride, a sense of self worth, and helps them to feel accepted in a society that is often quick to judge, and slow to respond. This sense of accomplishment will carry them through life, and help them not to give up so easily, when something new comes along.
Well, if the coloring pages and books that Old People–those of us past the age of twenty-five–used back in the days before they invented weather and when we all knew what a telephone cord was are fading out of mind, they are being reborn on the Internet. Children’s coloring pages are all over the place online. A whole new dimension of coloring and drawing has been opened up with the advent of the Internet. When the Internet was still pretty new–anyone here old enough to remember those days? –only a few websites offered free, printable coloring pages, and most of these merely contained some rough sketches or produced teeny weeny pictures. But today one can find a multitude of websites from which you can print out high-quality coloring sheets on nearly any subject that you can imagine.
Online printable coloring sheets though can be quickly delivered at the reception desk. That will reduce the anxiety for kids as they wait. It also enables the parents to be able to talk with other adults and not have so many interruptions. Sometimes online printable coloring pages can be offered for educational themes, holidays, or even coloring contests. The variety of them that are offered ensures that children of various ages can find something that they would be content with. In fact, you may feel good about composing a list of great sites where various online printable coloring pages can be found. The other option is just to type specifically what you are looking for into a search engine and it will bring up relevant pages to get it. With online printable coloring pages you never have to keep volumes of coloring books around. Most children change what they would like to color often. They bounce around from one theme or one set of characters to the next. Therefore they may abandon that coloring book with princesses or cars days after you buy it. Printing out the pages though allows them to always get what they want.
Coloring pages for kids are a popular item, because they can be found in any library or store for kids. They can also be printed out from the internet in any size and can be used as posters or wallpapers for a room. These coloring pages for kids can be of many different types. With cartoon characters from famous cartoons, such as Disney’s cartoons, Pixar and many others like it. They can also represent famous children’s stories and fairy tales. Printable coloring pages for kids are even more popular because they can be downloaded free from the internet and even bought online. We can even go to a print shop to make the pages look somewhat professional. These kinds of pages can be used to make your own coloring book for your kids.
Besides helping the children to develop their imaginations, parents can utilize stories from the coloring pages to teach their kids practical lessons. While the children are enjoying the process of coloring the images, they can be taught values that are important for them to grasp at a young age. Lessons from the real world can also be taught at the same time. When parents take the time to tell their children stories as they color, the child’s imagination is further strengthened and enhanced. Many parents already know that coloring pages help develop their children’s artistic abilities. They may not be familiar with the ways that using coloring pages can help their little ones to improve their skills towards writing. As children practice coloring, their abilities to stay within the lines improve over time. This focused ability to control the pencils or crayons precisely is an important part of being able to hold a writing instrument still and steady for when it is time to draw the letters of the alphabet. Artistic abilities are cultivated and strengthened in children who do well at coloring pages. Besides this, they will find it easier to start writing their alphabet letters when the time for this comes.
