Where's ColorMy Method from?
The journey started one afternoon when I attended a “parents
day” at preschool. I have a professional design and computer graphics background and I prepared some Father’s
Day animal coloring
pages for the class. The preschool teachers told me that the children
preferred my coloring pages to all other material they had been using, most of them
taken from the Internet. Soon I found myself swamped by requests
for my coloring page designs & pictures.
It struck me that
I could make a contribution and share my love for children while also assisting them in their early development.
This began the long process
of researching improvements to the time tested experience of coloring to produce a powerful, positive and fun learning experience which is now called the Method.
I enlisted the help of preschool
teachers, parents, childcare workers and early childhood
educators. I continued to expand and refine the Method and tested the material at every step,
tapping into the expertise of the educators and of course the
excited children. It was a long and fulfilling journey. Eventually the Workbook came to life. There is nothing
quite like seeing the joyful and happy faces of motivated
children as they learn and have fun using the Workbook.
What's the ColorMy Promise?
Modern early education theories stress the importance of providing children with activities they can enjoy and accomplish at their own pace. We've all seen how enthusiastic children can be
with just a pack of crayons
and a few sheets of blank paper. Coloring and drawing have been shown to profoundly stimulate mental development - this is especially true
for children between the ages of 2 and 6 who are most receptive
to learning while they are having fun.
The Workbook provides an enriching, stimulating and highly creative learning environment. It ignites a natural love for literature, art and learning. It lays the foundation for formal schooling without the pressure of a formal learning program.
The Workbook takes some of
the worry out of parenting. Parents want their children to enjoy the
fun and freedom of childhood yet not miss out on a solid foundation for the future.
The Workbook provides children with a comprehensive frame of reference for relating
to the world at a critical stage in their development.
The Method is about learning while having fun and being naturally motivated. The result is children who learn independently in a fun self paced fashion becoming more
productive and individually
creative in the process.
