Free Kid’s Coloring Printables
I know a little who would rather have a coloring card than a cupcake.
Most times when this little comes to my house, she says, “Gramma, I want a picture to color.”
And she heads for the computer, because she wants to pick the picture.
Gramma Googles “free coloring pages” and pages of images pop up.
“Which one do you want?”
“Uh-h-m-m-m…. maybe this one! No, that one! No, no, Gramma, I think I want this one.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. I want this one. Can you print it out?”
So, clatter, crunch, roll from a very noisy printer and then she grabs the paper and smiles.
“Where’s the pencils, Gramma?”
No crayons for this one.
Colored pencils, sharpener and picture, and she’s ready to go.
Sometimes the picture turns out like this…
And sometimes there is more of this…
than there is coloring of the picture.
(No, Gramma doesn’t share her Prismacolors on purpose. They would be down to stubs in a few unsupervised nano-seconds. The littles have unlimited access to Crayola brand exclusively!)
Rainbows and Butterflies, Race-cars and Bullfrogs:
We have Printables for Girls AND Boys.
Sing the “Rainbow Song” while you color the pictures:
If you see a (pick up a crayon and name the color), pick it out!
If you see a (name the color), pick it out!
Stand and wiggle,
Give a shout! (Yes!)
If you see a (name color), pick it out!
It’s easy to sing the Rainbow Song if you know the tune to “If You’re Happy and You Know It.”
And the more colored pencils you have, the more verses you can sing. “If you have an azul-verde, Pick it out!”
Azul-verde is much classier than blue-green, right?
And, you’re teaching Spanish at the same time as colors.
Oh, wait. If your littles (students) don’t know the colors, it might be smart to teach the names first in a familiar language.
Who knew that Crayola put the names on colored pencils in three languages? Guess what the third one is? It’s not Swahili.
These are North American pencils. English, Spanish, French. Yes!
And in French, that would be bleu-vert. Blue-vair, anyone? That has to be a gorgeous color. Or bordeaux. Delicious maroon! Spanish? Rojo oscuro.
