About this activity

What your child practises

Fine motor control, hand–eye coordination and choosing colours with care.

What’s included

  • 1 picture to colour
  • Open-ended: no right or wrong answers

Age and school year

Made for ages 3–6. That’s Pre-K – Grade 1 in the US, Nursery – Year 2 in England, Nursery 1 – Primary 1 in Nigeria and LKG – Class 1 in India.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Colour it on screen in the Crayonbird studio.
  • Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Print it again and try a different tool: crayons one day, felt-tips or watercolour pencils the next.
  2. Offer a few colours rather than the whole box; a smaller palette leads to careful choices and finished pictures.
  3. Keep sessions to 5–10 minutes and finish with praise – young children learn best in short bursts.
