Coloring!

All children love to color... in fact I love to color! There are many of our students on the spectrum who also love to color - particularly those who are functioning at the higher end of the spectrum. I have had many experiences with students living with Asperger's syndrome who love the visual detail of geometric coloring pages.



Check out this site: Dover Publications. They have several freebie coloring pages - many of which would be great for teaching leisure activities, as reinforcement activities, or as a fine motor activity. Several are also geometric shapes but they have several other types of pages.

Here are a few examples:





There is also a free email service you can sign up for - you will receive free coloring pages.


You may find that the students enjoy the use of colored pencils more than crayons. You can certainly also use these for painting.
