How does coloring help development?
A crayon is likely one of the first writing instruments your child will hold. Practicing with crayons helps improve fine motor skills (like finger grip), encourages focus, and nurtures creativity, and self-calming.
One of the best things is that it can easily be incorporated into a child’s day. Colors, shapes, interpretations, and imagined stories are all present when a child is coloring.

In Mexico, the Spanish pinatas were used as a tool of religious conversion, as the hanging pot was meant to represent sin, and those who destroyed it represented good vanquishing evil.

Amigo: Spanish for “friend”, but used as slang for friend in many English-speaking countries as well.
Latin Dancer Coloring Page
Latin dance originated in the traditional dances of indigenous cultures of Mexico, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Like many cultures around the world, dance was essential in communal ritual life. They were performed during rituals and festivals as a symbolic representation of cultural beliefs.
Mexican Flag Coloring Page
The flag of Mexico has three vertical stripes in green, white, and red. The design dates back to 1821 when Mexico finally gained its independence from Spain. When these colors were first adopted, the color green was chosen to represent independence from Spain.
Cinco De Mayo Sombrero Coloring Page
The sombrero, its name derived from the Spanish word Sombra, meaning “shade,” first appeared in the 15th century. Gentlemen often wore tan, white, or gray felt sombreros, while peasants wore straw. In Mexico, the brim of the sombrero could be as much as 2 feet (60 cm) wide.
Taco Terrie Shopkin Coloring Page
Tacos are thought to come from Mexico, long before the Spanish arrived. Ancient Mexicans used freshly made, soft, flat corn tortillas and gave them fillings like fish and cooked organs. It was a staple meal that provided vital nutrients and energy to those who consumed it.
