\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Printable coloring pages for kids are handwriting practice in disguise. Tracing and coloring activity pages teach the hand to stay on a line, which is the skill letters require.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lines before letters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A child who can follow a curve on a cat or a truck can follow the curve in the letter C. The picture gives them a reason to stay with the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressure and control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coloring asks for even pressure. Tracing asks for a path. Together they are the warm-up for a pencil on lined paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the page short<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A character or animal page with a few large shapes is better than a tiny detailed drawing. Big shapes suit a preschool grip.<\/p>\n\n\n
