Tips for parents and teachers

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