In these very special times of confinement and educational continuity, we are more than ever looking for activities that will not only entertain our children for more than 5 minutes, but will also bring them – or at least consolidate – certain knowledge.

How does magic coloring work?
Rest assured, the principle of magic coloring is obviously very simple: the drawing is divided into different boxes, in each of which there is for example a letter that your child will have to recognize or a calculation operation that he will have to perform. As an answer, each box should be colored the right way following a color code, for example yellow for the letter “B” or pink for an addition with a result of 10.
These drawings will take multiple forms: a princess, a pirate, a ladybug, a rainbow… All childish themes that can please your little one, like a traditional coloring. You can also select them according to certain key moments of the year with, for example, magical Christmas, Halloween, Easter coloring pages or to celebrate the arrival of winter or spring.
