Print on quality paper
So get ALL you coloring pages free by printing them out from your computer. The beauty of printing your own is that you can print on a quality paper and preserve your child's creativity. Don't use those poor quality copy sheets; they'll go yellow before sundown—unless of course it is only a practice run.
For a child's early development
Coloring pages is a pretty good introduction to your child's early development in the visual field; it can be art, paper sculpting, crafting various things and getting her into communication with her surroundings. Ever noticed how your child will be coloring in and then stare at some object in the room for a moment, then carry on coloring again? He or she may not be coloring in that particular object but will have a picture in her mind's eye of what she wants to express. Yes, it does help.
What NOT to do
"Mommy, what color shall I paint the sun?" You could say "Well, the sun's color is yellow" and that would be a mistake. It is best to say "What color do you think the sun is?" All too often parents and teachers love to tell the young ones how something should be; what color it should be. Please don't.
What kind of creativity do you want for your child?
There are digital pages or sheets online where your child can drop color in digitally as you can in many photo-editing software. This is another no-no unless your child is a computer geek or is on the road to becoming one. There is little or no creativity in dropping color in an enclosed area as you can do with a paint bucket tool. It is best to use crayons or markers. Unless of course she wants to create cartoon animations.
It's not necessary to be restricted by outlines
Please write to me about your child's creativity and if you have any problems, I'd be glad to help. Go to the contact form on the Navigation bar and send me an email. Thank you.
Blue Toddler Bedding Beyond Bedding has a variety of adorable blue bedding for toddlers.
Your abstract coloring pages can be anything you like but not if it can be seen as something you see every day. If you can only just perceive it as being something like a car then it begins to fall into the category of being abstract art. You create images in your viewers eyes which makes your abstracts far more interesting.
These Abstract Coloring images are different from the ones above as you will see as they have been in my sketch book for years. You can create an abstract image of almost anything from nature and make it into an abstract painting (it helps if you have pixel editing software.)
Angels come in all shapes, sizes, some fat others slim, some have wings or they can be disguised as ordinary mortals like you and me. So your next door neighbor may well be an angel! It is often said they can be in human form, full of laughter and good deeds. These lovely angels are often seen in religious paintings and they are all pretty much like humans don't you think? These angels can appear to be quite goofy at times so don't be fooled if they happen to like a bit of fun.
There are thousands of animals for you to color in. Your favorite animal may be right here on these pages below - Perhaps a dinosaur or two, some well-rounded llamas who are vaugely related to the camels (without the hump) or even some alien creature. There are a few insect-like animals, half insect, half beast but they're all godd fun to color in.
Ballet dancers pictures can be a lot of fun to color in and can be quite creative also. You can make your dancers glow with contrasty colors to create quite a hit with your friends. Do you know how to use contrasty colors? If you scan down on the Site Map you will see a link to creating some fabulous color schemes. If you can get a "color wheel" showing all the primary, secondary and tertiary colors, (which you can purchase for a few bucks) you will be able to see what is each colors' opposite. It is good to know which colors complement other colors in your bag of tricks.
Ballerina coloring sheets for young passionate dancers who would love to be the next Super Star! Did you know some of the top performing ballet dancers like Polina Semionova and Darcey Bussel go through every movement in their minds first before going on stage? Some of the world's top performers always do this like Phelps in the Olympics. Coloring in these ballet sheets can get your mind around some of your movement, only if you are a dancer.
A good start to learn all about color is from the lessons of mother nature. Butterflies have lovely symetrical shapes and their colors are even more wonderful with subtle changes in color. Mother nature sure does teach us a lot. Butterflies can be seen in wide range of geometric shapes and a bigger variety of decorative forms in their wings. You will notice brighter colors in these little aphids than any other living thing in nature.
Make these car pictures come alive with your crayons or paint. You probably like the more modern cars? Or maybe one of the old timers? There's a big choice for you here which ever type of car you like. Some are slim while others are fat, some are huge like the monster trucks. My Granny Emma doesn't like those big things, she likes the dainty vintage model dating back to the Model-T Ford. I think she is getting a bit old. And you know she can't drive too well, she peeps through the steering wheel in her 1952 V8 Chevy and occasionally curses other drivers!
It is great fun to color cartoon characters especially if they are kinda funny with big noses, chins that jut out like Jay Leno, large red ears with lobes hanging down to their shoulders. It is funnier if they are take-offs of your friends or neighbors. Some cartoons are an outright gross exaggeration of some well-known politicians and they can be exceedingly funny.

If you go into a greetings card store you will notice an abundance of cards with kitty cats, some with flowers others with small children. Maybe that is not your scene so you'll find here one or two sabre-toothed tigers ready for a meal.
Here again is the wonderful Cinderella whom we've seen so many times in Disneyland or the movie house. Cinderella's story has been around for a long time but it is still an enchanting story and my kids can watch it hundreds of times without getting bored.
