I’m already an adult, and painting is just as fun and calming today as it was when I was a kid. Children have many beautiful advantages from simple painting: It helps them concentrate, develop fine motor skills and coordination, increase color awareness and stimulate creativity. The main thing is that it’s fun! Get started with the awesome new coloring books for kids!
I wanted to highlight some of the most recent coloring books for the little ones in your life, both because school is starting again and because if they enjoy painting, at some point you have run out of your coloring book resources and are looking for something new. The lot below is from this year and last, and they’re all just waiting to be painted with their crayons by some eager youngsters.
I divide these new coloring books for children into two categories by age group: coloring books for young children aged 1 to 5 and for adolescent children aged 6 to 10. Have fun coloring!
