Can someone explain to me what clouring teaches a child apart from how to stay in the lines- and the fact that they cannot yet draw like that?!? Why not give the child blank paper and allow them to explore with their pencil control and learn to write and draw what and how they want? i.e actually learning skills of value? Just a thought. I guess colouring in provides a far easier option for those wanting to be less involved with the children :) Name: Email: Subject
