Many times we think of coloring as a just for fun activity. Often children just enjoy the easy task of coloring and are having fun while doing it.

However, there are many benefits to children coloring!

It provides fine motor practice. Practicing coloring can help children strengthen muscles in their hands. Give children practice with different grips by providing a variety of coloring tools. You might have children use chunky crayons, colored pencils and markers.
Children will work on hand-eye coordination. This is another skill children will practice when they are coloring. Children will be tracking the movement of hands with their eyes as they color.
Practicing can help improve hand writing. Children will be working on the correct grip as they are coloring.
It provides relaxation. Coloring can be fun but it can also act as a stress reliever. A part of this is giving children choice when coloring. If a child is scribbling to get out frustration, allow this. If a child would prefer a blank sheet of paper, provide this as a choice.
