Talk about the pictures while coloring. Ask questions like, “What sound does a little red monster make?” or “What color should we make Elmo’s nose?”

Display the finished masterpieces on the refrigerator or classroom bulletin board to boost your child’s confidence.
Use sparkly stickers or glitter glue to add extra texture and excitement to the completed artwork.
