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 5–10. That’s Kindergarten – Grade 5 in the US, Year 1–6 in England, Nursery 2 – Primary 5 in Nigeria and UKG – Class 5 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. Chat about the picture while your child works – naming objects, colours and feelings builds vocabulary.
  2. Print it again and try a different tool: crayons one day, felt-tips or watercolour pencils the next.
  3. Pick a regular time – after a snack, say – so practice becomes a habit rather than a battle.
