I have a riddle for you. What do 2nd graders and 5th graders (and the grades in between) all love? Hint: Ice cream (but that isn’t the right answer).
The correct answer is my brand-new coloring pages and I guarantee that you and your students will love them too. Coloring isn’t just for kindergarten anymore. The coloring craze is attracting all age groups. There are loads of bestselling coloring items on Amazon, even for teens and adults.
Why Use STEAM and Growth Mindset Coloring Pages?
The benefits of coloring for students are numerous and well supported.
Research indicates coloring may lower stress, increase creativity, develop fine motor skills, and improve attention spans.
The advantages for teachers are a low cost no prep activity with an outcome of calmer, better-behaved, and focused students. Sounds magical, right?
