Please begin having the children to practice coloring in the lines using real life colors. 1. One of the biggest reasons coloring is important at this age is because it helps develop hand strength. 2. By practicing with coloring, your child is fine-tuning their proper pencil grip. 3. It improves their fine motor coordination. Other coloring-related activities that help develop fine motor coordination include dot-to-dot pictures, tracing, coloring inside the lines of coloring pages, playing tic-tac-toe, and copying a picture onto a blank sheet of paper. 4. It helps develop focus which is crucial for academics and later on in careers. Focus is what helps us see through any task from start to finish.
