The Rainforest Colouring Book: Just Add Colour and Create a Masterpiece

Product Information

This rainforest leaves template colouring resource is a great way for your child to unwind whilst still improving several skills. Have you ever seen a labyrinth? Now that is a maze! Mazes are a series of tunnels, corridors, or lanes that lead to an end, with a bunch of dead-ends and twists in-between. Now, our mazes are not quite so complicated as a labyrinth and do not have quite so many ever-changing twists and turns, which makes them perfect to leave the kids alone with for half an hour.

That depends on where in the world the jungle is! In South America you can find rubbers trees, balsa trees, aҫaí palms and many trees belonging to the Brazil nut and nutmeg families. When children colour in, they will be strengthening their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.You can space out your child’s day with one of these colouring templates. There are four templates included, so you could space them out across the week too. This will give your child something to really look forward to. By the end of the week they will have a beautiful looking set of leaves! The benefits of colouring for children

Jungles aren’t just for animals. There are over 50 million people around the world who live in jungles. Puzzles and mazes also help to improve memory cognition and visual-spatial reasoning, and can often be a relaxing mindfulness activity they can use to calm down if they're feeling a little red. Do you have a budding artist in your home? Do your kids just love getting everything out of the craft box, creating a masterpiece and then leaving you to hoover up so much glitter you wonder how it all fits in that tiny bottle in the first place? Say no more. There should be some spectacular rainforest art on the way! If you’re looking for more leaf colouring resources, you could try our Fractions Halves and Quarters Leaves Colouring sheet, which combines maths and art. If your class need a bit more of a challenge, these Plants and Growth Themed Mindfulness Colouring Sheets are a fun step up! How can I use this rainforest leaves resource with my child?

Want to save more time

Featuring a variety of rainforest animals - such as snakes and leopards - for children to colour in, this resource is perfect to use to support your teaching on the rainforest and rainforest animals. You could even use this versatile resource to begin a class discussion at the beginning of teaching this topic - can children name any of the animals in the picture? What do they already know about the rainforest? You may wish to encourage children to use different materials to make their colouring experience even more engaging! They could try using dabber pens or even coloured pom pom balls to colour the image and reveal the scene. Give it a try! Once they're complete, they're ready to hang on the fridge for passers by to go 'ooh and ahh'.

Colouring is a bit like magic. It has the uncanny ability to keep children quiet, spark their imaginations, and improve their focus and concentration. Fine motor skills - all the little muscles in the wrists, hands and fingers of a child are developed when colouring. It also helps a child learn the correct way of holding a pencil or pen. Included in this resource are four different templates of rainforest leaves. All four templates include hand-drawn illustrations and provide plenty of spaces for your class to colour. The templates are easily customisable and allow your class to put their own creative spin on them. Hand eye coordination - colouring is the perfect way to improve hand eye coordination skills by colouring certain sections without going over the lines. Once children have completed these lovely pictures, they can be used as posters or home decorations! You could also use these animal colouring pictures for kids to support your child’s learning on wild animals and the jungle habitat. Why not get children to annotate each picture with names and descriptions of the animals?
