Download these illustrations for children to color
Children are one of the main characters during these days of confinement. These little heroes are giving us a true lesson in perseverance and adapting to change. To reward them, a good idea is to color with them and share a pleasant and quality time.
This situation is new for everyone, but for little ones, there is also their limited ability to understand the true scale of the situation and the fact that being at home means, for them, being on holiday—the opposite of having to follow a routine of daily tasks and duties. It is normal for adults to have to deal with a few more tantrums than usual because, in addition to having to be on non-holiday, they also face the reality of not seeing their friends or being able to have fun with them.
For all these reasons, it is very important to empathize with them and offer all the tools we can so that their skills and knowledge continue to develop normally. To do this, there are several things we can do and are surely doing: continue with their daily school activities, do some exercise every day, play an educational game with them, and give them some time to play on their own (which probably won’t be very educational) or watch television.
Painting and coloring can be a great option since they will see it as a fun activity to do, and we will be sure that they are exercising many of their most important skills and abilities at an early age. Experts point out that through drawing, children can better understand the world around them, communicate more easily with adults, and express what they feel more freely.
That is why, SPC, the brand of consumer electronics and specialist in smart products, stands in solidarity with the little ones at home and shares a lovely initiative with them. To this end, it offers all children (and adults who wish) a series of drawings in different styles designed by Luisa Sirvent, an art director specialized in branding, advertising design, and vector illustration. Thanks to this collaboration, children will have the chance to spend hours coloring and imagining worlds full of fantasy through representations of items easily recognizable to them, always with an extra touch of creativity. It’s as simple as downloading the drawings (they are a bit heavy, so we ask both grown-ups and little ones for a bit of patience while they load), printing them, and starting the activity.
What benefits does coloring bring to my child?
Improves motor skills
Coloring is one of the best allies for developing fine motor coordination and hand-eye coordination in children. As the little one perfects their drawing technique, they also gain skill, agility, and precision.
Helps boost self-esteem
If children color in a non-competitive environment, painting becomes a source of joy and satisfaction, thus helping to enhance their self-esteem, especially if they receive praise from their parents or adults.
Develops abstract thinking and emotional intelligence
Coloring helps children better understand the world. Drawing also promotes the development of visual perception, creativity, and abstract thinking, among other things.
Improves learning
Through drawing, the little ones not only learn more but also better understand the world around them and feel more motivated to keep learning new things.
Enhances self-control and concentration
Experts in the field assure that drawing is a wonderful exercise to stimulate children’s concentration without falling into distractions.
