I freakin' LOVE coloring!

Jacob is a big time fan of coloring. He likes doing any kind of art, actually. He enjoys painting, glueing, cutting, paper shredding, and especially enjoys stickering. Thankfully he only sticks stickers on paper & himself currently.

He calls this activity "color paper!" "I color paper," he says. And he always announces whatever he colors. This comes in handy when he colors freestyle on plain paper ;) . He's getting pretty good at coloring circles and he knows all of his colors. Our art time goes like this, "I color blue circle!" "I color purple circle!" "Mommy color purple circle?" "I color dinosaur!"

Here were using coloring books. I see Jacob is using an actual crayon & not the Color Wonder markers that only work on Color Wonder paper (not on the carpet, furniture, my face, head, clothing, etc.) The crayons did NOT make it past this coloring session. They are back in their hiding place as Jacob decided to color on his chair & Lego bucket too. The last time the crayons went on hiatus, he wouldn't stop coloring the carpet & colored his face. When does this phase end?!?


Jacob coloring in his Nemo book. He's coloring Gil, who is his favorite fish to color at the moment.

He's happily coloring in his own book, but he usually notices that I'm content in coloring in a different book and tries to snatch that away. We're still working on sharing ...




I was trying to snap a picture of him with his tongue out. When he's focused & concentrating on something he sticks his tongue out and kind of folds it over his top lip. It's SO cute. I wasn't fast enough though.


At least this is one activity we all enjoy! :) Happy coloring!!!!!!!!
