We’ve been having a lot of fun sitting at the kitchen table, soaking up the morning sunshine and doing some serious coloring.  Daisy’s especially been enjoying trading color-by-number pictures with me.

I just use a felt-tipped black marker to draw a design, then number each section by color.  I create a key for her to match up the numbers and colors, then she sets to work.  If you’re not big into drawing yourself (my drawing skills are admittedly very limited) you can do this with a printable coloring page (many fun options at Dover) or sheet from a coloring book.  Just look for one that has large enough spaces that you can write the numbers in!
