Creative Coloring Pages

I am often amazed to discover that the coloring page indexes are the most popular pages on this website. They are widely considered to be developmentally inappropriate for young children. There are many easy art projects and experiences available for preschool and childcare programs that are appropriate. Open ended art still gives children practice with fine motor control and also helps develop problem solving and creativity. And yet coloring pages are still very popular and are in use. The biggest augument for their use is the development of fine motor control for prewriting skills. I present my solution below. I have designed coloring pages that will give children practice staying in the lines and producing an appealing project. And yet each page's design in open ended; the child can color the patterns and designs in a million different ways! Each page is ready to print and color. Enjoy! I am not a great artist but at the least, I hope these pages will inspire you.
