Moms, you know that kids can be difficult to keep entertained. One of the best ways to engage kids of all ages in a meaningful way is through coloring sheets.
Today, we’ve had a bit of a bright light go off in our heads because, instead of the normal free coloring pages that we offer, for example, simple and advanced animal drawings, we’ve gone for something totally different: the humble lightbulb.
Remember, coloring is a great way to not only keep children entertained but also to develop their fine motor skills as well as their hand-eye coordination, and our lightbulb coloring pages bring something a little quirky when compared to the printable pictures that we offer on our site.
Our coloring pages consist of high quality white pictures that include detailed line art and detailed patterns, as well as those with a more simple design with easy outlines to follow. These more simple colorings are a full page and perfect for younger children, but of course, older kids are welcome to attempt them too.
The printable version of each page can be used separately, or you can put them together to make your own free coloring book.
While these light bulb pages are perfect all year round, during the Christmas season, you can encourage your children to think of them as Christmas lights coloring pages by making them all the bright colors they can think of. You could even use them on a Christmas tree, not as the main decoration but as something just a little different during the holiday season.

Benefits of Coloring Pages
Coloring isn’t just a fun activity, it helps young kids develop hand-eye coordination, color recognition and fine motor skills.
For adults, coloring is a way to relax, unwind and de-stress. Did you know coloring pages are often used as mindfulness and meditative practices for calming the mind?
It’s a way to be creative even if you don’t think of yourself as artistic. Picking colors, patterns and how you want to use them IS being artistic!
Coloring is good for the brain, too – it is mentally stimulating and helps us focus because it requires concentration and attention to detail.
Who knew something as simple and fun as coloring could be so useful?
