Why is coloring important?

Coloring is important because it helps to strengthen children’s fingers and hands which aids in the development of fine motor skills. It strengthens their pencil grip which will help give them a good start on being able to hold a pencil and write for longer periods of time.

What are some other benefits of coloring?

• Coloring is calming. Kids of all ages can benefit from the calm that comes from coloring quietly.
• It helps to ease anxiety.
• Improves attention spans and concentration.
• It is a great way to help children with color recognition.

How do you learn about animals while coloring?

Coloring is a fun way to learn about animals in your homeschool. You can print out a coloring sheet for the different animals that you are learning about.
