Sindhu's cocoon

We color on anything and everything..

Bored of coloring the coloring books and white paper, Little One wanted to color on something different.. Thank God until now he hasn't started to scribble on wall! So I give him anything to color that's about to go to trash. 

First on this list is Calendar...😝 Since LO has started to recognize numbers, it happened to be a dual activity.. Learning numbers and coloring! And yeah, he asked me 'Where is 29 and 30?', looking at the February month sheet. You can teach days of the week and months of a year with the calendar!

Next in the list is the "Egg Cartons"..😜 You can do so many crafts with the egg cartons, which I will share sooner. But for LO, I gave them for coloring! First attempt was with paint and brush..

Secondly, we used Oil Pastles, which I thought would be easier to slide on the egg carton's rough surface. The texture of the egg carton is different from the usual, so I hope it would have been a different experience and challenge for LO.

This pic was taken when LO was in his second year.. Invitation card painting!

When LO learned to draw vehicles with markers......

LO's first finger painting experience. After lot of hesitation he finally decided to touch the paint with his fingers!

We almost color on anything.. I think this way kids get to explore different textures and get to use varied coloring supplies available. Please share your kids experience in coloring, in the comment box.

Happy Parenting!
