Coloring in a coloring book is more than just a fun activity for young children—it’s an important part of early development. As they choose colors, hold crayons, and fill in shapes, kids strengthen their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Coloring also gives them a simple, creative way to express themselves, build confidence, and practice focus. It’s a calming activity that encourages imagination while helping children develop the foundational skills they’ll use in writing, problem-solving, and learning throughout childhood.
In the Magic of Blackthorn Forest readers are introduced to Emery, a lonely skunk shunned by others due to her natural scent, living in the enchanting but isolated Blackthorn Forest.
Children can follow the story while coloring the pictures themselves – making them a part of the story.
