How to Make Coloring Over the Summer Fun?

To keep your kids excited about coloring this summer. Why not try adding fun twists to their usual coloring routine?

Such as:

1. Have a Coloring Picnic – Take the coloring pages outdoors! Lay out a blanket in the backyard or park and let your kids enjoy coloring in the fresh air.

2. Try Magic Coloring with White Crayons

Use white crayons to draw hidden designs on the pages before your child starts coloring. When they color over it, the hidden patterns will appear like magic! How fun is that?!

3. Use Different Coloring Materials

Encourage kids to experiment with gel pens, watercolor paints, or chalk pastels to create unique textures and effects on their summer scenes.

4. Organize a Coloring Party – Invite friends over for a summer coloring party. Set up a small station with different coloring supplies. And let the kids color together while enjoying summer snacks like watermelon and lemonade, or whatever your favorites are.

5. Make It a Storytelling Activity – After your child finishes coloring a page, ask them to tell a story about the picture. For example, if they colored a sea creature scene, they can imagine what adventures the sea creatures are having under the ocean.
