As an art teacher, artist, and lover of all things “artsy,” I am a big proponent of “art for art’s sake.” My “pop art” interactive coloring sheets are designed such that they can be used any time in your classroom for the sake of making art.

However, I am a teacher so I understand how hard-pressed classroom teachers are for time. You might not feel like you can give up precious lesson time to let the kids “color.” In that case, I suggest that you can use these interactive sheets as writing prompts. For example, after completing the coloring sheet for the leaves you could ask, “Why do you love your parents?” I have included writing prompts in this product for you to use.

And these are not just ordinary coloring sheets. As one of my Instagram followers said:

"I found that my 5th/6th graders come to me and because of the focus on testing, never played with color or design or patterns. Your products give them that opportunity and I’ve seen so much improvement in their attention to detail as well as noticing patterns, lines, etc. It’s so much more than 'just coloring.'" –E.D.

Interactive Coloring: Students spend a lot of thought and consideration when deciding where the patterns will go in each design. Students also have to color small details which improves their fine motor skills which helps with many things–handwriting being one example. If your students were to make several of these (along with writings as well) they would have a beautiful portfolio!

Pattern-filled: I have also converted many of the interactive images to pattern-filled designs as well. This is to allow you some room for flexibility with students that might otherwise struggle to add the patterns themselves. These will allow you to differentiate among your students better.

Testing is a part of life, as we know. So use these to start the brain in the morning before testing, or use them when students finish early so they have something creative to do after testing. I’ve even had teachers comment that these interactive coloring sheets are great to use with students when one-on-one conferencing is necessary to keep the other students engaged and busy.

If you love these sheets, I have collections for all holidays and occasions. I've also collected many of these into my Interactive Coloring sheets book for Holidays and Seasons with over 80 coloring pages. Just click HERE to view this book!
