Did you know that the attention span of the average 3 year old is only about 3 minutes? This of course will improve with age but in the mean time, colouring is a simple activity you can do to improve this!

Other benefits of colouring in include;

- increased brain activity

- improves memory

- parent/child bonding

- improved motor skills

- improve creative thinking + imagination

 

Colouring in also has some amazing mental health benefits. It can help kids:

- unwind from a busy day

- stay focused and engaged

- start to calm before bedtime, unlike watching TV which stimulates their brains and can make it harder for them to fall asleep.
