What other activities using his manual dexterity does he enjoy? Not every kid likes to color as it requires too much attention to keeping the color inside the lines. He may not have developed his fine motor skills yet. Try something else. Don't push him as he will absolutely detest doing anything with his hands. Have you tried finger painting? That might just be a good transition into coloring once he has mastered finger painting. Some kids just can't draw period. Some adults can't either. Be patient and offer him alternative methods of expressing himself on paper. |

My litle brother isn't a fan of drawing or coloring on paper. He loves doing pictures on the computer just in a paint program. They learn the same basic skills using precision with a mouse and teaches them colors. He both draws his own pictures and we download ones from his favourite cartoon websites for him to color in. Bonus is if they make a mistake they can use the eraser tool :) |

There is a new chalk that is 3D and the kids love it! If you are concerned about his small motor dexterity there are other suitable exercises that will help with that. I would Google * developing fine motor skills in children* and you should get plenty of hits. Here is a link for the chalk Crayola Outdoors |

Buy sticker books. My sons used to love the preschool and early school ones where they had to put the ball sticker UNDER the table and the cat sticker ON the bed (taught prepositions). Or a bird (or dog or cat or horse or dinosaur) sticker book where they stuck each sticker on the right page with the description of it. OR buy a bunch of animal and people stickers and draw a horizon line and sun and clouds and a tree and a lake on a piece of printer paper, then let your son put the stickers in various places on the paper. Then tell a story about the picture he has made. Play-Doh is good too for making fat bugs and cats and dogs and log cabins. You don't need all the fancy "kits." Just keep the Play-Doh in one place to confine any mess of it. (My kids HATED crayons and coloring and also hated fingerpaints. AND NEVER use pudding or other food as fingerpaint.) |
