Coloring is not just a fun activity but it can also help your kids in various ways:
When kids manipulate with the paintbrush, their fine motor skills improve.
Sorting and counting colors help them to learn the basic of mathematics.
Experimenting with materials for art help them to dabble in science.
Creating art helps to boost self-confidence.
Experimenting and making mistakes help them to invent new ways of thinking.
Exploring beyond the craft room helps to boost imagination.
It helps in the brain development.
It improves concentration and focus.
Coloring enhances the manual dexterity (the ability to coordinate hand and finger movements to grasp an object).
