We love letting kids color because it’s not only fun but also helpful. Coloring increases the strength of the small muscles in the hand, which is necessary when learning how to write.
Coloring also helps preschoolers develop coordination between lines and colors within a shape. Completing each free reindeer coloring page allows preschoolers to have fun while improving their fine motor skills!
