Kids love to color and do other fun coloring activities. You can find many sites that offer free coloring pages or activity sheets to print out. Often sites also offer other free online activities, including coloring with the mouse.
The Kidz Page
Visit www.thekidzpage.com/colouring_menus/index.htm for free coloring pages to print. You can also color online freehand using the mouse.
Choose from printable animal coloring pages, vehicles, people, holiday pages and more. You can also print activity pages such as word searches, crossword puzzles, word scramble, mazes and math pages.
Do online jigsaw puzzles, listen to music, watch movies or read online stories on the Kidz Page. Your child can also play online games, but these games are meant for school-age children.
PBS Kids
Print free coloring pages with favorite characters at pbskids.org/coloring/. Choose your child's favorite characters and print coloring pages with that character.
PBS kids also offers games for preschoolers. Listen to music and watch videos from their favorite shows on the website, too.
Disney Family Fun
Visit familyfun.go.com/printables/coloring-pages/ to print coloring pages of many different themes. Choose from everyday coloring pages to holiday-themed pages. Print off several pages before it's time to color or show your child the pages and let her choose what you print.
Visit the games tab to print various puzzles, word searches, word scramble, tic tac toe, and even travel activity packs including state-specific games.
The paper crafts tab has holiday templates that you can trace or cut out, cards and invitations, games for sleepovers that you can print, 3-D designs that you can color and assemble and many more fun activities and resources to keep your child entertained.
Crayola
Find even more free coloring pages at www.crayola.com/. This site is unique because you can design your own coloring pages to print and color. Designing your own coloring page is easy. Pick your background, add pictures, and you can even add words to tell a story. Resize or move objects, delete objects, bring objects to the front (layer pictures and choose what picture shows on top) and then print your picture. Designing his own coloring page sparks your child's creativity even more than simply coloring the page.
Don't worry, though, there are premade coloring pages to choose from if you'd rather not design your own. Your child can also color online instead of printing out pages.
Find a lot of craft ideas on the site, too. Choose from different themes or just do the craft of the day. Play online games or make cards and certificates.
There are many other sites that offer free coloring pages and activities, but these sites offer just about anything you could want.
