 Interactive Colouring Sheets
So much more than “just colouring.”
As an art teacher, artist and lover of all things “artsy,” I am a big
proponent of “art for art’s sake.” My interactive colouring sheets are
designed such that they can be used any time in your classroom for
the sake of making art.

However, I am a teacher so I understand how hard-pressed classroom teachers are for time. You
might not feel like you can give up precious lesson time to let the kids “colour.” In that case, I
suggest that you can use this interactive sheet as a writing prompt.I have included a writing
prompt in this free item.

And these are not just ordinary colouring sheets. As one of my Instagram followers said:

“I found that my 5th/6th graders come to me and because of the focus on testing, never played with colour
or design or patterns. Your products give them that opportunity and I’ve seen so much improvement in their
attention to detail as well as noticing patterns, lines, etc. It’s so much more than “just colouring.” ~E.D.

Students spend a lot of thought and consideration when deciding where the patterns will go in each
design. Students also have to colour small details which improves their fine motor skills which help
with many things--handwriting being one example. If your students were to make several of these
(along with writings as well) they would have a beautiful portfolio at the end of the year!

I have thrown in a bonus colouring sheet that already has the patterns filled in. This is to allow you
some room for flexibility with students that might otherwise struggle to add the patterns
themselves.

Testing is a part of life, as we know. So use these to start the brain in the morning before testing, or
use them when students finish early so they have something creative to do after testing. I’ve even
had teachers comment that these interactive colouring sheets are great to use with students when
one-on-one conferencing is necessary to keep the other students engaged and busy. If you love
these sheets you can purchase the entire set of interactive colouring sheets in my TPT store click
HERE to see over 80 images available to you.

But, no matter how many fun ideas I think of, every teacher is creative in their own way and always
amazes me with completely new and different ideas!

I hope you have fun with these, I know my students and I do!

And, as always, thank you for your support!

 These pictures are from a teacher who is using my
interactive colouring sheets as writing prompts for the
year. Her students are making a book that will be full of
art and writing at the end of the year! What a
wonderful treasure this will be for the students, parents
and teachers!

So much more than “just colouring.”

 ART

Pop Art is a major art movement of the

second half of the 20th century (and
continues today) which includes imagery
from popular culture, sometimes removed
from its typical context, isolated, and/or
combined with unrelated material. Pop Art
employs aspects of popular culture such as
advertising, comic books, and other
common objects as opposed to those
characteristic of more elitist culture. It is
often simple, fun and colourful!

Famous Pop Art artists include Andy

Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Indiana,
Keith Haring, Jasper Johns, and more
recently, Romero Britto.

How-To
1. Using the patterns in the five small boxes at the bottom of each page, fill in the
different parts of the pictures. Every time you run into a black line you need to change the
pattern. You don’t have to put patterns in all the areas, you can leave some blank. It’s okay
to repeat the patterns in different sizes in different areas.

3. Cut out the large rectangle at the

 BONUS:
Included is a bonus colouring sheet that already has the
patterns filled in. This is great if you are low on time or need
to differentiate for a student or two who might struggle too
much with adding the patterns themselves. I find that
students like to fill in the patterns and colour the pattern
filled one equally. GREAT for younger students! This would
also make a great display of all the leaves coloured in
differently by your students!
