| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 |
Prepare the Materials: Place the colouring book and crayons in front of the child. Explain the activity goal—focusing on colouring neatly and using different crayon colours. |
| 2 |
Choose an Image: Ask the child to pick any picture from the book that they would like to colour. Encourage them to pick freely based on their preference. |
| 3 |
Pick the Colours: Guide the child to choose the crayon colours that match the objects in the image. Prompt with questions like: “What colour should the apple be?” or “Which colour will you use for the sky?” |
| 4 |
Colouring Technique: Encourage the child to begin colouring along the edges first to create a neat outline, then fill in the middle area. This supports control and precision. |
| 5 |
Observe and Discuss: Watch how the child colours and ask them how they feel about their work. Ask questions like: “How does the picture look now?” or “How do you feel about your colouring?” |
| 6 |
Praise and Celebrate: Once they finish colouring, praise their effort and creativity. Celebrate even the little imperfections as part of learning. |
