WORKING TOGETHER

A few helpful cues

  • Invite the child to retrace from the start instead of giving the answer.
  • Ask why they chose a color.
  • Pause if the activity runs longer than ten minutes.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you begin

Should I point out a wrong turn immediately?

Give the child time to notice the dead end. Backtracking is part of the learning.

What if coloring is still messy?

Choice, expression, and finishing matter more than perfect coverage.
