Free Coloring Pages for Children

Coloring pages you can print from the internet are a fantastic way to hold your kid's attention. Coloring pages and printables activities are free for anyone with a computer, an internet connection and a printer. Your child will love to browse the selection with you and point to the ones they want.

Children's coloring pages printed from the internet have become a replacement for the traditional coloring books their parents had in their own childhood. The variety of topics in coloring pages is as broad as the culture our children are being raised in. Nearly every children's television program or cartoon character has a website with free printables or coloring pages as a feature.

Teachers and parents can find an abundance of reinforcement for things they are teaching in educational coloring pages. Children can be instructed in their colors, the alphabet, shapes, seasonal occasions, as well as spiritual education to be strengthened in church or at home.

Coloring pages are a great way to occupy your kids on a long car trip or airline flight. They can keep little hands and minds quietly busy in a waiting room or when stuck indoors during wet weather. As soon as kids are old enough to understand that they must only color on the paper and not the table or walls, coloring is a great activity that requires very little direction by the parents. Hand and eye coordination are promoted and prepare a child for reading and writing.  Be sure to have a special place on wall to spotlight their favorite coloring pages.
