There Are Many Ways to Enjoy Coloring Pages

Coloring Pages are a great low cost and quick to set up activity for your kids to take part in.
For example if your little darling declares that they want to do so, you just fire up the PC and internet connection, browse to a coloring page site and print out some pictures.

This is the first place your kids can have fun.
By letting them choose their pictures they will enjoy having the choice.
Children like to feel they are big enough to make decisions and that their desires have an impact on the world, so let them browse the available pictures until they are happy.

Ok, decisions made and now you have some printed Coloring Pages, great! Time to let them make the next important decision - how are they going to be filled in.
Most homes will have coloring pencils or crayons. In my house we also have glitter pens, foam pens and most importantly paints for the kids to select between.

Using paints will require a little bit more setup time as you may need to clear an area and lay newspapers down over the table to protect it. No matter how old the child is they can still take part.
My youngest cant keep the page steady so I stick it down with some sellotape and she can then take part! Once they are done, we often grab our child safe scissors and cut out the figures on the pages.
From there we have the choice of putting them up around the house or adding them into a scrapbook.
Trust me once they start scrapbooking these, you will end up with loads of books full of pictures which you will treasure more and more as they grow up.
I intend to try and embarrass my kids with these on their future wedding days! Another idea is to take the cut out characters and add them into a new scene of your making.

Get a bigger blank piece of paper and stick them in to make an action packed scene, or as my youngest calls it, "A Party!".
