Preschoolers Activities - Coloring For Kids
Kids love coloring and is one of the most fun and creative preschoolers activities.
Coloring helps the child to plan, make decisions on what colors to use and encourages them to think creatively on how best to make their picture beautiful with colors.
There are many materials a child can use for coloring - color pencils, crayon or watercolor paints but ensure that they are lead-free and nontoxic.
Suggested activities: 1.
Hand painting This is done best on glossy or glazed paper.
Paint some watercolor on the child's palm and place the palm flat on the paper.
Alternate with different colors and for some special effects, while the paint is still wet, use a comb to swirl around the hand prints to produce interesting etched designs.
Hand painting can be quite messy but is one of the most fun and creative preschoolers activities.
2.
Texture painting This is great to develop the sensory motor skill.
Mix one or more of the following to your watercolor paints - sand, liquid starch, baby powder, sawdust, glitter, crumbled leaves or flowers or salt.
Encourage the child to describe what they see and feel as they paint on the paper.
3.
Crayon and color pencils This is one of the less messy preschoolers activities your child will enjoy.
Draw jellyfish or any sea creatures and wavy sea waves using pencil on a piece of white paper.
Trace the outline with crayon.
Color the jellyfish and the sea using color pencils.
The color pencils cannot color over the crayons because the wax crayons resist the color pencils but using this fun technique will make the jellyfish and the sea waves very distinct.
Coloring is one form of art activity for kids and can foster a child's physical, social, emotional, cognitive and creative development as it is one of the many open-ended preschoolers activities that encourage discovery, exploration, experimentation and invention which are all vital thinking skills.
