Coloring Book Therapy Solves Problem

I was in a coffee shop with my granddaughter and my 5-year-old great grandson Ben. I’m not very good playing’ I Spy with my little Eye ‘and Ben always wins.

So to deflate his confidence and deter him from challenging me, I made and wore a badge on my chest which said –  National Champion - ‘I Spy With My Little Eye’ 2017.

Ben looked at it, laughed, took the badge and put it on his chest, then beat me again, and again.

So I was pleased when he discovered that the cafe provided coloring picture sheets and crayons.

He was happy to quietly entertain himself, creating his masterpiece and exercising and developing his imagination in the process. What value.

It occupies children's independent quiet attention,exercises judgement and decision making,and is hugely enjoyable.

 I could go on, the pleasure and benefits of simple strokes with crayons to color a picture are so many for a child. Occupational Therapy In The Round.
