The benefits of coloring pages:

1) Self-expression - coloring on a blank "canvas" (piece of paper), is a way for children and adults alike to express them selves. You can tell a lot about the way a person is feeling by the images thatthey draw, the colors thatthey use, etc. It is Important to give children a chance to express them selves, and not all children express them selves through words and through writing , many use art.

2) Color recognition

3) Therapy - for many people (myself included) coloring is therapeutic. Regardless of Whether its scribbling, or coloring the "best picture ever", coloring can be a way to de-stress after a busy morning or schoolwork, wind down, and calm down, after the stresses of a day at school or work .

4) Grip / Control - many children learn how to hold a pencil, pen, marker or colored pencil, by first learning how to hold a crayon. The small muscles needed for penmanship later start to be overdeveloped while coloring.

5) Coordination

6) Building motor skills

7) Focus - Paying attention to a single task for a length of time is Necessary for coloring and for all sorts of things Throughout ones life.

8) Boundaries - Another Thing That children learn from coloring pages, Preprinted with pictures on them, is how to accept boundaries. While a toddler or preschooler might scribble all over a coloring sheet, with no respect for the boundaries (lines on the coloring page), as the child gets older, theywill start to respect Those lines, and make an effort to color between them. While I encourage encouragement blank paper coloring for free expression or at shaft axis possible, for many preschoolers pre-printed coloring pages are their first exposure to printed boundaries. This early exposure to boundaries in print, will be a huge help handwriting When time comes around, and the child Has to respect the boundaries of the Preprinted handwriting lines on the paper.

9) Milestone - This is the last little "importance" or coloring That I will mention for now, and thats That coloring in the lines is a milestone, a sense of accomplishment, the first step towards a successful academic career for many children. For many children coloring in the lines is just as Important as counting to 10, counting to 100, reciting the alphabet, learning the multiplication facts, and so forth. Its a milestone That says "yes I can" do whatever I come across, and It provides children with pride, a sense of self worth, and helps them to feel accepted in a society thats or at quick to judge, and slow to respond. This sense of accomplishment will carry them through life, and help them not to give up so easily, When something new comes along.
