Have you ever needed some activities to keep your child busy during an appointment? Nearly every parent has experienced this. It's cumbersome to pack a coloring book into an already crowded diaper bag when you have a toddler. A simpler solution is to just print off some free printable character coloring pages to take along on your trips. The sheets can easily be slipped into the bag or folded and put into a pocket. If your child carries a small backpack, they work well there, too! The point is, they're much more portable than a coloring book, and you can be sure that you have only pages that your child likes.
Age-Appropriate Free Printable Character Coloring Pages for Your Toddler
Coloring books, as you know, often have pages that are simply not suitable for the coloring level of your toddler. Toddlers need bold lines and simple designs in order to develop their coloring skills. Coloring pages with complicated and intricate designs may be fun for older children, but your toddler will feel overwhelmed with all the different parts that need coloring. The solution to successfully coloring with your toddler is to choose pages that only have a few elements, dark borders to help them grasp the idea of coloring within the lines, and, of course, fun characters! The free printable Elmo coloring pages at ColoringBookFun.com are just the ticket.
Free Printable Character Coloring Pages for Elmo Fans
Ask almost any toddler you know who their favorite character is and most will reply with a resounding, "Elmo!" He's small, furry, cute and fun -- what's not to like? But Elmo products can be expensive, especially when you're dealing with toddlers who don't exactly take care of their toys and coloring books. Many coloring books have been torn apart at the hands of eager toddlers. By printing out pages of their favorite characters instead, your toddler can get what he likes without unnecessary expenses. This coloring page features Elmo with two turtles. It has a simple design and all elements are easily recognizable by toddlers. This picture can be colored just for fun or can be used to teach your child about caring for pets if you happen to keep pet turtles in your home. It can also be used to introduce your toddler to the word "turtle" by using one of their favorite characters as a guide. Teach them about what turtles eat, where they live and how to care for them. Your toddler will especially love it when you explain that turtles go into their shells to sleep and for protection. Check out the free printable Elmo and turtles coloring page below and the picture of my son holding the picture above. He was delighted with this page. He carried it around for quite some time showing it to others before he used it. He likes to help get his pages as they come out of the printer, so imagine your child's face when he or she sees her favorite character printing out.
