1. Q-Tip Painting
Q-tip painting is a great way to build fine motor skills. Pinching the Q-tip builds hand strength leading up to grasping a pencil. Mix together a few colors and have your little one use a Q-tip to dip into the paint and then on to their paper. Develop “first” and “second” with this 2-step process.

2. Dot Dot Markers
Never underestimate the power of the Dot Dot marker! Dot Dot markers improve hand-eye coordination and are a great way to learn colors. When two colors overlap, a new color forms! What colors will you discover? My favorite Dot Dot markers are sparkly! Print your Tutu Coloring Page now.
3. Small Stickers
Another awesome way to fill in a coloring sheet is to sticker it! Find the right size sticker to challenge your little ones. Find a good size that’s not too small so that it’s frustrating, and not too large so that it’s not a challenge. This peel and stick motion builds pincher strength. Print your Lion Coloring Page now.
4. Stamping
Build strength and coordination with stamps! Using stamps is a great way to build vocabulary. Grab yourself a themed stamp bundle and have your little ones talk about the images they see as they stamp! What colors do you see emerge? Print your Alphabet Coloring Pages now.
5. Kwik Stix
We know the texture of markers and crayons pretty well. Why not add a new texture to the mix? Kwik Stix are chunky, shimmery, semi-solid paint sticks that dry in under 90 seconds. I love these! Have fun with vibrant colors and explore a new texture. Print your Butterfly Coloring Page now.
6. Watercolors
Sometimes we forget how awesome watercolors can be! Watercolors are great because they give us a chance to identify colors and mix colors together! No mess is left behind and clean up is easy! Print your Unicorn Coloring Pages now.
7. Fun with Noodles
Noodles are awesome! Using water and noodles to fill in your sheet is a great two-step process that builds coordination. I cut my noodles in half with scissors, then dipped the end in water and stuck it to the paper. Noodles are always a big crowd pleaser! Print your Rainbow Coloring Page now.
