The vehicle dot coloring pages or a full sheet of paper, plus large child-appropriate crayons
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Stay with the child throughout. Check the space and supplies, including anything within reach of younger siblings. Skip any activity that is unsuitable. Stop if a child puts non-food material in their mouth or becomes distressed. Use intact books, full sheets of paper, a large child-appropriate crayon and a clean, dry towel. Follow product labels; remove torn paper and keep broken crayons and caps away from children. Adult handles and stores supplies.
Set up: Open and print a chosen vehicle page, or draw a vehicle with a few large circles on paper.
Adult's role: Help select and print a page. Let the child choose colors and take breaks as needed.
Let's make it happen
- Choose a vehicle and point to its large circles.
- Color each circle using any colors you like.
- Draw a place for the vehicle to travel, if you wish.
Make it simpler: Point to one circle and color it together.
Clean up: Put crayons away and save or recycle the page.
Stay nearby while young children use crayons and remove broken pieces.
