đCrown & đď¸Crayon
As a hybrid homeschooling mom, Iâm always searching for ways to make learning personal.
This photo of my daughter and me was taken in May 2022 during one of our most sacred bonding rituals: taking care of our hair.
Lately, weâve been diving into lessons that feel close to homeâreading, art, number recognition, ad awareness, self-care, and even early lessons in anti-consumerism. After seeing how much she loved her color-by-number activity last week, I decided to give it a personal twist.
So now, Iâm turning real moments like this into custom coloring pagesâones that honor us.
And yes, thatâs Blue Magic you see! A nostalgic staple and a sweet nod to our trusted braider in LAâwe love and miss you, Erica!
Making memories, making meaning, and making artâone curl at a time.
đťđď¸Color by numbers is more than just a fun activityâitâs a powerful educational tool, especially for young learners. Here's why itâs great for learning:
đ¨ 1. Builds Number Recognition
Kids learn to visually recognize numbers, which lays the foundation for early math skills.
đ§ 2. Supports Cognitive Development
Following a color-by-number key helps with:
Problem-solving (decoding instructions)
Attention to detail
Memory recall
đď¸ 3. Improves Fine Motor Skills
Holding crayons, coloring within the lines, and coordinating hand movements strengthens hand-eye coordination and pencil gripâskills essential for writing.
đ 4. Reinforces Focus & Patience
It teaches kids how to follow multi-step directions and see a task through to completion, which boosts executive functioning and concentration.
đ 5. Encourages Color Awareness & Creativity
Even with numbered guidance, children learn:
Color matching
Visual discrimination
And often become curious to create their own versions!
â¤ď¸ 6. Emotional Regulation
Coloring has calming effects. It can reduce anxiety and stressâhelping kids regulate their emotions, especially when paired with personal or culturally affirming imagery.
đ 7. Makes Learning Personal
When customized (like your beautiful moment with your daughter), it helps children see themselves in the learningâwhich is vital for identity development and confidence.
