What are coloring pages?

Coloring pages are simple line drawings that are intended to be colored in using markers, crayons or colored pencils. They can be contained in a book or free standing printables as is the case with the coloring pages I have created for you. I made these dog coloring pages for you. They are simple to just print out and add to a binder or present as an activity in your progress nook.

How to use dog coloring pages to build new skills

• Teach new vocabulary : have your child or students label each image by saying “dog”.
• Build fine motor skills : coloring builds fine motor strength and precision. Have your little learner use a wider pencil or marker if his or her fine motor skills are currently a bit weak. (I love these thick colored pencils for kids.)
• Provide a calming activity : coloring is a great sensory activity to put in place between other learning activities or as a fun, quiet time during the day.
• Build social skills : take turns to complete the coloring pages with your child.
• Use the pages as a reinforcer : prepare this activity as a fun and reinforcing activity following other table activities.
