About the great benefits of drawing for development. Our parental task is to instill interest in him and provide regular activities with various drawing media. One of the options for involving a child in drawing is coloring. Today, publishers offer a huge variety of coloring books. I have already bought many interesting copies. But, to be honest, I’m in no hurry to give them to my two-year-old Yana to be torn to pieces. For the first coloring, I selected monosyllabic drawings from the Internet, adapted several spreads of well-known drawings by Fiona Watt and printed them out. You can download them here:

Printing coloring pages yourself is not only more economical, but also convenient. I often demonstrate to Yana various coloring techniques, and we color not just one picture together, but each of our own copies. We also often color the same pictures in different colors, this makes it possible to compare different color schemes. For example, in the first photo of this post, I recommended the colors for the top picture, and Yana chose the colors for the bottom picture herself. Moreover, when asked “which option does she like best,” she did not hesitate to show the bottom picture with brown and gray-brown shades 😀 .

We paint with everything (watercolor, gouache, crayons, felt-tip pens, plasticine), but the most attractive result is obtained using gouache.

For everyone who introduces children to creativity and has not yet purchased from Fix Price a stack of creative albums from Clever, I recommend you visit urgently. I’m bringing the ignorant up to date, scribbles and drawings by Fiona Watt from Clever publishing are very interesting and popular for preschoolers from 3 years old. They contain a variety of tasks for coloring and completing elements. I’ve been eyeing the Big Sketchbook from this series for a long time (in it 96 pages, and its price is about 325 rubles). It turned out that At Fix Price, these albums are three times thinner - 32 pages, but the price is 7 times less - 43 rubles for each. In the end, buying three albums cost me 129 rubles, and the total number of pages is the same as that of the Big Kalyakalka - 96 ! At the same time, the quality and format are absolutely the same. Owners of a large kalakalka do not make sense to buy small ones, since their content partially overlaps.

UPDATE 01/22/2017: I’ll correct myself a little, Clever’s albums are excellent, but this series didn’t work for Yana even at three years old. Most assignments are for 4-5 years. We postponed it for another year because Yana found them too complicated and she refused to draw with them.

Several photo albums from Fix Price:

The task is to draw grains for the chickens and color them. Yana performed at 2 years old.
The task is to draw dogs with different fur. The poodle has curls, the dachshund has spots, the diver has wavy hair. Yana started coloring when she was 2 years old. Considering the size of the pictures, the complexity of the tasks can be compared with the copybooks for preparing the hand for writing. They are usually designed for 5-6 years.

In conclusion

This is my first post about drawing practice for kids, because after getting acquainted with the ideas of free drawing, I tried to interfere minimally with Yana’s drawing and progress in drawing was very slow. Now I have optimized my approach, we are making big changes. In the near future I will show off our masterpieces and share tips.

Below is my wish list of coloring books for little ones with thick colored outlines. As I purchase them, I will add reviews of them to this post.

At what age will a child be interested in not only looking at the illustrated pages of children's books and magazines, but also trying color outline pictures with your own hands ? Most babies begin to get acquainted with the world coloring pages for three years old . Although at 2 years old a child is quite capable of learning to hold a colored pencil in his hand and color large pictures no small parts. On this page you will find coloring books for toddlers that can be used to complement educational activities from 2 years of age.

There are special sets of colored triangular pencils for the little ones, the lead of which is thicker and leaves a clear mark on a sheet of paper without strong pressure. Holding such a pencil between your fingers is easier and a two-year-old child will not get tired quickly during coloring sessions . Such developmental activities help the baby quickly remember the names of objects, and also introduce them to the color and shape of different objects.

Outlines of pictures for coloring should consist of wide (3-5 mm), clearly printed lines, since the movements of a 2-year-old baby will be sweeping and imprecise. Help your child stay within the contour lines while object coloring . The pictures themselves should be large, as simplified as possible and without small details.

Water coloring pages for kids.

If your child still has difficulty coloring pictures on their own , then we recommend purchasing special water coloring pages , which will help your child quickly master the principle of filling unpainted areas of a drawing with color within the contour border. Prepare for practice a brush, clean water and a page from an album with water coloring books. An outline, colorless object is printed on the page. As the child runs a wet brush over the unpainted outline drawing, the color will gradually appear and the picture will turn into color.
