Let your preschoolers make their own lines to color inside!
Start by giving a child a piece of paper and some crayons….
Then invite the child to draw some lines….
And some shapes…..
And then invite the child to color inside the shapes!
How important are those lines anyway?
The process of creating their own lines and coloring in the shapes will lead to an improvement in fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, creative inspiration, and it can be simply fun!

It is great to here another way to do this…I have also found out that if I tell the children that pretend that there crayon is a race car and that the lines are the track, the race car has to stay in the lines to win….This of course is great for kids 3 and up. It works great and now I have another way to teach it too…Thanks:)
