Coloring books for 3 and 4 year olds
Trace Then Color is made for ages 3 and up. At this age, tracing over the dotted lines builds the pencil grip that drawing needs later. Pick round, simple characters and sit with them for the first few pages.

Tips for this age
- Sit together for the first few pages and trace one line each.
- A fat pencil or a marker is easier to hold than a thin pencil.
- Let them skip lines. Tracing part of a character still counts.
- Stop while it is still fun. One character is a whole session at this age.
