We spoke very highly of this pen over on our top 10 must have colouring supplies article and we love it so much we have to include it here too. A white marker pen is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to add highlights to a piece of colouring and the white Posca marker is our favourite. You’ll find lots of fun facts and great activities for kids about Claude Monet, the founder of the impressionist movement. I think everyone can benefit from a boost to their wellbeing with taking time to focus on their own self care.

Why not make colouring a whole family event and start a collaborative colouring project? Collaborative colouring is when an image is split into sections so that lots of people can get involved in colouring it in.

Fine liner pens are another great option for adding detail to your colouring. The small nib size is perfect for adding those intricate lines into your colouring and our favourites are the STAEDTLER fine liner pens. They have an ergonomic triangle shape for comfort during use, come in a wide range of colours and are affordable for the quality and range you get!

These are perhaps the most most professional and premium choice of alcohol pens on the market in our opinion! Copic markers are incredible, with their great ability to blend, wide selection of colours to choose from and the fact that they are refillable. All of these amazing benefits do come at a cost though, with these pens at a high price point. They would be great for an experienced colourist looking to up their colouring game! The Tombow Dual Brushpens are the most expensive water based pen on this list, but there’s a reason for that! These pens are fantastic at blending for a water based marker and in general they are a versatile marker that could be used on a range of projects. They are a great choice for a colourist who likes to blend but prefers a water based marker to an alcohol based marker! The BIC Conte colouring pens are another great budget option for a colourist looking for a simple yet effective option. They are a water based marker with a bullet nib which can be extremely useful for precision and small details. The colours are bold and bright and they are a great choice for laying down flat colour! The inspirational quotes and intricate patterns are really enjoyable to colour in and it’s really nice to spend time colouring them.Topical colouring sheets like this one open the door to further discussion. This resource gives you the perfect opportunity for you to talk to your child about the importance of a varied diet, and help enforce positive and healthy eating habits.

If your children wanted to get their teacher a thank you gift, they could include their own message using these gift tags. Another pricey but high quality option are the Spectrum Noir markers. These are an alcohol based, dual nib marker and are a very reliable choice of pen. They are extremely high quality, refillable and even offer replacement nibs. These pens come in a variety of different themed sets and we would absolutely say they are worth the price tag. These colouring sheets can easily be used at home by using the illustrations as a starting point for discussion around showing respect and care for your siblings. Talk to your children about sharing toys, waiting patiently for their turn, not snatching, working out ways to solve problems together and always making sure we speak in a nice manner towards one another. Extend this activity by allow children to paint or creat a collage of the pictures, using a range of different coloured craft materials. How can I teach my child about respect at home? What's more, the finished pieces will look lovely on your classroom display wall, and children will feel so proud when they see their work on show for all to see. It’s a good activity to do before bed if you’re the type of person whose mind runs at a million miles an hour and you really want to slow down your thoughts.

There are multiple ways you can use this resource in the classroom. For example, once your pupils have finished colouring, you can use the final masterpieces to brighten the winter display in your classroom. Why not run a class-wide competition to see who can make the hot chocolate look the yummiest? This is a great way to encourage children and make them feel appreciated by having their work on display. Ring, text, or visit a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while and miss. Reaching out to someone you haven’t heard from in a while shows you’re thinking of them and want to make sure they’re okay. We just can’t wait to get the kettle on, get the tea poured and get the coloured pens out! Self Care Activities and Inspiration
