The kids I was making coloring sheets for asked the other adult to make a few yesterday and she went to GPT and printed slop.
Unhappiness for everyone.
Draw your own coloring sheets. You can use any paper you want. You just need some kind of writing tool.
Simple shapes for little ones, simple scenes for older kids.
Teach them how to draw their own.
Things we talked about today during coloring sheet time:
- types symmetry
- radians
- diameter
- scale, proportion
- inches
- centimeters
- millimeters
- base 10
Did I "teach" them these things because they were on the curriculum?
No. I did it because conversations about math are good for small talk with kids.
