As a general rule, children learn to speak during the first years of life, since language is one of the capacities that children acquire from a very early age. However, the same does not happen with writing, and one of the most complicated tasks in children's learning is learning to write. Therefore, we invite you to discover the benefits of writing and coloring for children on pages Värityskuvat Lapsille.

Benefits of writing and coloring in children

Since they are very young, it is good to encourage children to paint, since, through activities such as tracing and coloring, children develop their imagination and lay the foundations for learning to write correctly in the future.

For this reason, teachers who work in Early Childhood Education classrooms should introduce their students to tracing and coloring activities as soon as possible, since there are many benefits that these exercises bring to schoolchildren :

1. Physical benefits

On the physical and psychomotor plane, children who begin writing and tracing at an early age develop and perfect their manual skills. One of the most developed is fine motor skills, which is what allows the handling of small objects.

In addition, painting and coloring schoolchildren also improve their spatial ability and discover the different textures, colors, and smells of the world around them.

2. Benefits on an emotional level

On an emotional level, children also obtain important benefits through tracing and coloring. Painting and coloring give them a lot of satisfaction, and when they see that they are capable of making such beautiful drawings on their own, the little ones reinforce their self-esteem.

What are the best materials for writing and coloring?

If you are an Early Childhood Education teacher, you must encourage your students to practice writing and coloring frequently in the classroom. But to prevent possible mishaps and ensure that children are working to the fullest, it is necessary to provide them with the right material to practice writing (tracing) and coloring.

The ultimate goal is for your students to be able to convert those first scribbles into perfectly legible letters at the end of the course, so you must have all the teaching material in the classroom to teach reading and writing.

1. Paper

Instead of giving each student a small piece of paper or a notebook, the ideal is for schoolchildren to always make their first pre-writing strokes on large sheets of paper. With these large papers, children can make wide turns with their arms and can even paint freely on the floor.

2. Paintings

The first writing and coloring exercises in the classroom should be fun for children. To achieve this, many teachers opt for finger paints, thick markers, or short and thick crayons, since with these types of materials children can practice tracing and coloring exercises more entertainingly and, in addition, they are easier to hold.

Another piece of advice for choosing the best material for writing and coloring activities in the classroom is that all the materials used by the little ones be toxic-free and easily washable. For example, STABILO products have all these quality characteristics and are perfect for introducing school children to writing and coloring activities in the classroom, as they are ergonomic and have measurements adapted to the children's ages.
