Tell kids there's no right or wrong way to color! They can make a pink cat, a blue tree, or anything else their amazing imagination can dream up. Encourage them to be bold and experiment with every color in the crayon box.

Whether they're using crayons, colored pencils, or their fingers on a touchscreen, encourage them to enjoy the physical act of coloring. This helps develop fine motor skills and teaches them how to focus while having fun.

Ask them: What is this little animal or character doing? What name would they give to their colorful picture? This can spark their language skills and encourage them to develop their own unique narratives.
