- Hand-eye coordination
- Boost to creativity
- Benefits of low-stress creative activities
- Completion of a task and the fantastic feeling that comes with it!
To gain these benefits for your children, I recommend that you:
- Collect all of your coloring utensils (like crayons, markers, color pencils, etc.). Give your students the opportunity to select which tools they'd like to use. Another fun way to enjoy these color by number printables is to use water color paints and paint brushes.
- Display the color by number printable pages when finished for all to look at and admire.
- If you have enough time, make (or buy) some Chinese New Year treats. A snack or meal can be a smart way to take a break in between coloring activities and introduce your students to new foods.
Take some time to go over how a color by number code works. Explain how these color-by-number code mystery pictures will be revealed as you use different colors on these Chinese New Year-themed worksheets.
