🎨 Why Colouring Pages Are Great for Toddlers
Colouring isn't just a fun pastime — it’s a foundational early childhood activity that supports:
-
✍️ Fine motor development — every crayon stroke strengthens little fingers
-
👁 Hand-eye coordination — staying within lines builds focus and control
-
🧠 Creativity and self-expression — even scribbles tell a story
-
🌈 Colour recognition and early learning — especially when paired with themed activities
Want to take it one step further? Try matching our scented Scoops® to the colouring page themes for a multi-sensory experience!
