Encourage Your Kids to Color Outside the Lines!
It is important in early childhood for kids to explore their imaginations and express their creativity. So many activities in their daily lives require them to follow rules or schedules that are not of their own making. Even art projects can be limiting in focusing on the finished product, rather than the process. Sometimes, though, teaching kids to color outside the lines and do their own thing can be at least as important as having them follow directions.A few lines of children's coloring books and games have recently come on the market that are all about expressing creativity rather than coloring inside the lines.
Taro Gomi's books: Doodles, Scribbles, and Squiggles, among others, are great collections of pages with prompts that kids can follow to create their own imaginative masterpieces.
Nikalas Catlow also has a line of books, including Do You Doodle? and Oodles of Doodles, that are similarly structured.The RandomLine company has a series of game books based on the idea of completing pictures out of random squiggles. Some of our favorites are Squiggle On-the-Go and Squiggle Mixup, but there are more of these, too!
