Skill Level

Messy Points

Step 1

Cut your Easy Peel Stickable colouring roll to size and stick it underneath a table. Make sure you can still reach the colouring sheet, though! Grab some pillows if you need a boost.

Step 2

With your Jumbo Creamy Crayons, lie down on your back and get colouring!

Tip

This helps strengthen your child’s shoulders which, in turn, helps develop strong muscles for a solid pencil grip and fine motor skills as they learn to write!

Big Thinkers

A change in perspective is a great way to add interest and fun to any activity—whether it’s drawing something upside down or throwing a ball behind you!

Skill Development

Fine Motor Skills: Colouring from different body angles increases core strength, works different muscles and helps to builds fine motor skills in all parts of the body.

Pre-writing:
Strengthening shoulders, fostering hand-eye coordination & visual perception are all important pre-writing skills.
