Why will our pictures appeal to children?

How to choose a coloring page by age?

Children under three are still learning to hold a pencil and not go beyond the outlines. It’s hard for them to work on the same thing for too long; they quickly get tired. Therefore, choose simple drawings that are not overloaded with details for them. It’s preferable that there is not more than one object on them, which can be colored with three or four pencils.

Children from four to six years old can handle a slightly more complex image. It would also be nice if there were some tasks associated with the coloring. For example: to draw something according to numbers and dots or to add to the picture independently. At this age, the child already has favorite characters and cartoons, so you can choose thematic pictures.

Children seven years old and older can be offered educational coloring pages on geography, history, biology. They usually provide informative information that can interest children and help them in their studies. When your son or daughter goes to first grade, they will already have favorite subjects and will be more engaged in learning.

What do coloring pages develop?
