After playing one of our free, fun educational games, print out a coloring page of something that was in the game!
Just click on the little picture of the coloring page you'd like to see the big version of the coloring page. Then click on your browser's print button.
Or click on the text “PDF format”. The big version of the coloring page will open up inside Adobe Reader. Then click on the Adobe Reader print button. (Don't click on your browser's print button in this case.)
These coloring pages are 8.5 inches by 11 inches, which is A4 size. Just right for your printer.
The key parenting skill you need to develop when entertaining your new child is the ability to Distract. If they get bored, or scared, or cry for any reason,...misdirect their simple little minds elsewhere. For starters, show them something. Anything.
"Look, a fuzzy tiger."
They will most likely stop crying and evaluate this new information.
"Hmmm, a tiger, I hadn't realized that..."
"Yes, a tiger...look...see the tiger?..."
"Well, (sniffle) my stomach was hurting..."
"I know, I know..."
"But... a tiger, you say..."
"Yes, a tiger. Right here. Here is a tiger..."
It doesn't even have to be as interesting as a tiger. Any physical item that is currently on the planet and within reach will do.
"Look, the cap to Daddy's water bottle...see...plastic...and white...isn't that something? And here are some keys."
They're willing to seriously consider whatever you have to offer.
Small children should be supervised by a caregiver when at a computer,
to ensure no accidents occur that could hurt the child and that no equipment gets broken.
