Parents New Study Regarding Free Coloring Pages

By Tim Beachum

Teachers and parents once thought of free coloring pages as a entertaining activity for the children. Teacher would use the coloring pages as classroom activities to keep the little ones occupied. Parents would often use coloring pages as one of many activities at birthday parties, and as a distraction on long road trips.

There was an in depth study done by a group of volunteers by the name of Kids Come First a childhood and parenting development team " it has been discovered that coloring pages serve multiple purposes in your childs educational development. It was found that coloring pages actually help develop your childs hand eye coordination, it builds their self-esteem by giving them a since of accomplishment. As a teacher or a parent its a good idea to make sure that your child completes the coloring page from beginning to end thus giving them a since of accomplishment.

I thought that this concept was a great way to use free coloring pages as an educational tool. Depending on the age of your child you can show him or her how to locate their own free coloring pages by using the Internet..

In my personal opinion I found the results of this study to be an excellent way to Introduce your child to the Internet. This method allows you to protect your little one from some of the dangers of being online i.e. viewing material that you may deem inappropriate.

Even kid party planners are beginning to jump on board the free coloring pages party train. According a dozen party planners that have been interviewed free coloring pages can be used to hold a contest. It builds ccomrodory among the children as well as an understanding of sportsman like conduct. The party planners that were interviewed all pointed out the importance of issuing a prize to all of the children regardless of who colored the best coloring page.

Keep in mind that the coloring pages from the party can also be kept in a scrapbook that your child will be grateful for years down the road. Your childs children will enjoy laughing at his or her parents coloring technique.

One of the little pieces of information that I found to be pretty interesting was the result from the Kids Come First Study regarding Christmas coloring pages. I once thought that all coloring pages were created equal. Boy was I wrong!

Not to mention that it is usually during the Christmas season that all of the little boys and girls are on their best behavior. Even during the heat of summer you can give your child several christmas coloring pages and psychologically you will invoke the emotions and excitement that they have during that time period. - 20896
