Coloring Pages for Boys
These coloring pages for boys start with boys themselves: riding bikes, flipping pancakes, playing drums, catching frogs and reading in a tree house. Then come the subjects boys ask for most often, like diggers, robots and rockets. Each boy is an original character, drawn in different shapes, sizes and hairstyles.
New boys coloring pages are on the way. Check back soon!

Getting a reluctant colorer started
Some boys will color for an hour. Others say it's boring after two minutes. A few things help with the second group.
Match the page to an interest. A kid who loves trucks will color a truck. Start with what he already talks about.
Offer markers. Kids who press too lightly with crayons get quick, bold color from a marker, which feels more rewarding.
Give the page a job. A colored page can become a birthday card, a sign for a bedroom door or a cover for a school folder. Finishing matters more when the page is going somewhere.
Color alongside him. Sit down with your own page. Ten minutes of side-by-side coloring is often when kids start talking about their day.
Coloring also builds the hand strength and pencil grip that handwriting depends on. That's one reason kindergarten and first-grade teachers keep a stack of pages on hand.
