As a dad of two, I know the struggle when it comes to finding things to do during downtime with the kids. Weekends. Half Term. Summer Holidays. Lockdown! Whilst most parents find it hard enough to fill this time, it’s even harder if you are trying to avoid your kids just sitting in front of a TV, iPad, or some other electronic device. Finding interesting and simple activities for the children is always tough, which is where the inspiration for our downloadable coloring pages came from.
These printable colouring pages find the perfect balance between being fun, easy to use, full of variety and genuinely being good for the kids – and as a dad that’s a winner for me. You can select from so many different pages; we have Disney colouring pages, dinosaur colouring pages (including baby dinosaurs) and a whole range of zoo animal colouring pages (swinging monkeys, sneaky snakes and roaring lions). If you are after something a little more festive, download our Christmas colouring pages or maybe try something a little more dangerous with our pirates and knights colouring pages.
Colouring is proven to be good for your child’s development, so not only are these pages a great way of keeping our kids entertained on something other than computer games, they add genuine benefits – what parent doesn’t want to tick all those boxes. They are also a free resource; you just need access to a printer. Click on the links below, download your page of choice, and print. Hand to your little ones, give them pens, pencils, or crayons, and off they go. Quick, simple, and free. Also, as a dad running his own business, I don’t get the luxury of booking time off right now, and whilst that might not be the same for you, I’m guessing at times you are busy and would benefit from some activities that require little parental involvement. So, these free printable coloring pages are perfect for your busy lives, whilst ensuring that the kids are still doing something that’s good for their development.
And they are good for our kid’s development. The best thing for me is concentration. If your children are anything like mine, they will constantly be looking towards the next activity, the next program, the next game. What these coloring pages have been designed to do is keep them engaged for a longer period, which is a great way of improving their levels of concentration. The other great pleasure is that sense of pride it gives them at the end and it can go on display. Due to the quality of the drawings, you’ll have great artwork to put up on the wall or attach to the fridge and I think all parents would give a thumbs up to improving the quality of the artwork they have to decorate the house with!
So, what have we got for you? A lot already and more to come.
Below we’ve added the first round of the options available for you and more are being added all the time, so keep checking back for more options. We’ve even included a Christmas selection, as I know how much my kids love colouring in Christmas pictures. In fact, what we find is that we end up putting them into the cards that go out to Grandma’s, Grandpops and Nana, they make a fantastic extra present for relatives, who love getting artwork from the grandkids and proudly adding it to their fridge.
Enough already, show me the pages so we can start colouring…
