Color by Number for Kids
Many people remember doing color by numbers as children. It was a fun and easy way to expose mystery pictures, and it also helped to develop basic skills like counting and matching colors. But what else can color by numbers teach?
For starters, it can help improve hand-eye coordination. Tracing the lines and filling in the spaces requires concentration and control, both of which are necessary for tasks like writing.
In addition, color by number pages can also help to develop problem-solving skills. Following the instructions to complete the picture requires planning and critical thinking, two essential skills for success in school and in life.
So the next time you print out one of our numbers coloring pages, remember that it’s not just for fun. It’s also a great way to sharpen your child’s mind.
Pirates for Kids
Argh, matey! Preschoolers love anything and everything to do with pirates. From dress-up and make-believe to movies and books, there is something about pirates that just captured their imagination. And who can blame them?
Pirates are adventuresome, daring, and sometimes a little bit naughty – everything that preschoolers aspire to be. Plus, they get to have all the fun of pretend without any of the real world consequences.
So whether your preschooler wants to dress up like a pirate and “sail” around the house or bury treasure in the sandpit, be sure to encourage their imaginations.
After all, it’s only for a short time before they’ll be getting ready for kindergarten. Argh!
