Coloring books are a thing of the past. Kids today aren't as thrilled by a basic coloring book as children a generation ago. That is because these children have been spoiled by all the fantastic new methods of coloring using the computer or with fancy markers and pens. While you might get away with a coloring book and crayons for a long car trip, don't expect your school age children to sit quietly at the table coloring pictures the old fashioned way – there is a something better around, and they know it.

Coloring Pages of Disney – Mostly kids know about the Disney pages and cards, thus happily buy from the stores, to affix on their coloring notebook. Who is your child's favorite star? It may be Donald or Minnie. Crazy to think our parents grew up watching their shows, we do too and now our kids continue the tradition. They really put family values first. So you can always count on Disney coloring-pages to cheer kids up. Even if they aren't big into the classic characters and might prefer to see the hot new characters. If so then you should try and get some Buzz Lightyear or maybe Tiger.

Remember when you were a child, lying on your tummy on the floor, coloring book open, crayon in hand with the other crayons spilling out of the box? Can you remember the sense of peace and enjoyment you felt while you were coloring? Why not consider revisiting this favorite childhood pastime to help during those times when you find yourself feeling on edge.

Beyond the skill of holding a crayon or pencil properly, learning to keep the lines drawn on the coloring pages is another example of fine motor skills. This is a more advanced concept, and may well take several years for the child to fully be able to accomplish, so only positive comments should be made on your youngsters coloring attempts in this regard. It is better to have them enjoy coloring and want to do it often then become discouraged by negative feedback and harsh criticisms.
