Why try printables?

Printables are so great for young children because not only are they fun and entertaining but they’re also an easy way to learn how to colour, write, draw and can help improve gross motor skills. Children can practice tracing letters, writing numbers, drawing shapes and colouring in pictures on a variety of different themed pages such as dinosaur themed, Easter, birthdays and so much more! Printables are a great, simple and mess-free way for parents to bond with their kids and teach them new things. The best thing is that since they come as downloadable digital files, that means you can print them out as many times as you like and your little ones will be occupied for hours and hours!

Printable colouring pages for kids are far more than just a fun hobby and keeping them occupied. They are great for their mental and emotional health as well as their manual and intellectual development. Here are the key benefits of colouring: 

  • It stimulates their creativity and enhances your child’s imagination
  • It’s a great tool that helps them to express themselves through choosing colours and the boundaries of the colouring page
  • It’s proven to be therapeutic- helps them to relax and to release their stresses/worries
  • It improves their pencil grip and their handwriting skills
  • It helps kids to recognise different colours, shapes, images etc.
