It's summertime! That means it's the perfect time to engage your children, both indoors and out. For indoor or travel fun, we suggest coloring! Coloring can help your kiddos develop important fine motor skills. And we're happy to be able to provide you with some freebie summer coloring fun, in partnership with The Good Toy Group, and The Pencil Grip, Inc. Summer coloring isn't just fun fine motor skill practice - it can also help your youngest children with color recognition, and kids and grown-ups of any age with sparking creativity!

Summer Coloring!

Summertime is worth getting excited about. When someone says "summer", we think of ice-cold lemonade, trail walks along our beautiful Colorado lakes, splashing into neighborhood pools, hikes in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and reading a great book on the front porch. 

So many of life's little pleasures can be found during the summer months! And like all the lovely things we listed above, we know that summer is a wonderful time for outdoor activities. But, especially given all the rain we've been experiencing this year, summer is a great time for indoor fun as well! So how about some quiet time with your favorite coloring tools and some freebie fun from Beyond the Blackboard?

Lately we've been loving coloring with our Yummy Yummy Scented Washable Markers - have you tried this coloring medium by Ooly? These fun summer coloring pages are the perfect chance to try out some new coloring supplies!

For kids and grown-ups, summer might just be the most eagerly awaited time of year. Summer is the season of water fun, faraway vacations, family road trips, and even some lazy days.

Children are almost always excited about a break from school! During the summer, kiddos get to attend day camps, fish in Front Range reservoirs, and maybe even spend some quality time at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Grown-ups look forward to traveling and reacquainting themselves with their kids they don't see as much during the school year!

Whatever your summer will look like this year, Beyond the Blackboard would love to be a part of it. 

We have a handful of printable summer coloring pages for you that are great for children and grown-ups. 

Check out these 5 summer coloring pages that grown-ups and kiddos will love.

Print your coloring pages, grab your coloring tools, let your imagination run free, and create something amazing that will show off the spirit of summer! We'd love to see your artistic skills on display, too. Tag us on Instagram @ beyondtheblackboard!
