Benefits of coloring

With the development of technology, coloring has taken a back seat in children's learning. Coloring seems like a simple task but there are so many learning benefits for children when they are coloring.

Here are six learning benefits of coloring activities.

        1.  Fine Motor Development: Coloring helps children develop good finger grip. It provides an opportunity to practice holding a pencil the correct way and aids in developing those fine motor muscles in their hands, fingers, and wrist.

Includes stickers!

        2.  Concentration: Children’s length of concentration develops and improves over time. Coloring requires good concentration and this type of focusing on one task can help a child develop his or her overall concentration levels.

        3. Color Recognition: Using different colors gives children an opportunity to explore different combinations and lets them see how they can change the appearance of the picture. It is great also for gaining awareness of the lesser known colors.

        4.  Hand & Eye Coordination:   Coloring assists in the development of hand & eye coordination as the child learns to color within the specified area. Staying inside the lines takes considerable skill and when they master it, they gain a sense of pride and achievement.

         5.  Sense of Pride and Achievement:   We need to give young children every opportunity to gain self-confidence and a sense of self-worth. If they can create something that is aesthetically pleasing, then this will help in the positive development of their personality.

         6.  Creativity: Coloring stimulates creative thinking. As their confidence grows, they are more likely to take risks and experiment with color, patterns, and special effects with pencil or marker strokes.
