Hello, stuck inside parents, caregivers, and kids! We hope you’re hanging in there. These are long days and kids have a lot of energy… So we’re back with another batch of free printables, this time focusing on coloring and drawing. Our most recent 20 free ABCs printables post was so well received, we’ve decided to make more printables to help parents and kids get through one day at a time. This week, we’re highlighting Arts & Crafts toys in our Stuck Inside series. Toys in this category tend to be good for independent, stuck-inside play.
Our 10 free printables this week are all about teaching kids to draw and color animals, cars, space, and more! Print these out, grab some coloring tools, and let kids enjoy some independent play time so you can go get some work done (or just enjoy some much needed moments of relaxation!)

We will continue to provide activities that we think may help, but we would love to hear from you about what is working for you and your family during these difficult days. Share what you’re finding to be fun and effective ways to play by posting and using #PowerOfPlay!
