Tips for parents & teachers
- Print black-and-white. Coloring pages and word searches were designed to look great in plain ink — save the color cartridge.
- Keep a small stash. Tuck two or three printed sheets in a bag for restaurants, waiting rooms, and long car rides.
- Talk while they work. Ask what color a butterfly should be, or what a word in the search means. The conversation is where the learning lives.
- Let it be theirs. There is no wrong way to color a butterfly. Praise the effort, not the neatness.
