Synopsis "A COLORING BOOK FULL OF ADVENTURES WITH WILD ANIMALS. animals in the jungle to color (in Spanish)"
The instinct that children have to paint is incredible. From a very young age we can give them a pencil and paper so that they can start scribbling on their own. For them it is a way of communicating, of expressing emotions and feelings that perhaps they have not yet verbalized. And it is that, in addition to being a very fun activity, the benefits of coloring drawings are numerous, both for children.
What are the benefits of coloring? 1. Strengthens the ability to concentrate Coloring is an activity that causes children to focus all their attention on the same goal. This is because children know that they must do their best to make their drawing perfect.
2. Helps the development of fine motor skills In relation to the effort and concentration that children invest when coloring, we find the development of their motor skills. When children use colors they try not to go out of the contours and, little by little, they improve their dexterity and, of course, their fine motor skills.
3. Stimulates creativity and artistic expression Artistic expression in children is essential for their mental development. They transmit their feelings and their way of seeing life through art, for this reason plastic education is so important in the growth of children. For example, through art, children get to think about themselves and their surroundings, trying to draw and color their family and friends.
4. Increases self-esteem Coloring will awaken in children feelings such as joy and pride in achieving success. All of this has a direct impact on boosting their self-esteem.
5. It is a natural form of relaxation It helps us disconnect from daily worries and relaxes us naturally. In the case of children, it is a way to take a moment for themselves and relax their minds, as well as fully focus on an act or moment, as advocated by activities related to mindfulness.
6. Helps release endorphins and balance thinking By coloring we stimulate the right side of the brain (logical, scientific mind) and a feeling of general well-being is produced. But it also activates both cerebral hemispheres, balancing the way of thinking, the mind and the abilities associated with each hemisphere. In the same drawing there are geometric figures that are captured by our logical side (left hemisphere) and the colors and drawings that are captured by our creative side (right hemisphere).
7. It is a way to learn while having fun But, without a doubt, the great benefit of coloring is that children learn while having fun. It is a very fun activity with which time flies by. The combination of color and stickers develops creativity, promotes concentration and improves motor skills in a fun way. But, above all, it helps them give free rein to their imagination.
