Coloring is a favorite activity of children. Children will be able to unleash their creativity and turn a monotonous picture into a more eye-catching one. This activity will become even more interesting when parents choose a seasonal theme, both entertaining and imparting more knowledge to them. On a hot summer day like this, let's learn together how to color swimming floats beautifully!
Step 1: Draw a swimming buoy
There are many types of swimming floats on the market, not just round floats. Of course, round floats are the easiest to draw and color, but you should respect your child's opinion so that he or she feels most comfortable in the swimming float coloring activity. In addition to circular swimming floats, you can also refer to animal-shaped swimming floats, with the same circular design but with additional animal heads: ducks, crocodiles, giraffes... extremely adorable. For details you can refer to the photo below:
Use a pencil to sketch a circle, then draw a small circle in the middle to create a round swimming buoy. Or draw an ellipse to create a horizontal swimming float shape, then add the head of the animal you want.
Step 2: Fill in the outline with a black pen
After you have finished drawing with a pencil, use an eraser to erase the remaining lead, then use a black felt-tip pen or ballpoint pen to outline the float to make it even clearer and more neat. Parents can draw some additional objects such as swimming pools, moss, fish, and clams in this step to make the drawing more vivid.
Step 3: Choose a color to paint
Paint color is an important part, deciding whether the swimming float coloring picture is beautiful or not. Parents need to choose a pen with the correct color, the color must stick to the paper, and they need to be sturdy so that the pen body does not break when used. Mykingdom has the Tropical Jungle Colored Pencil Set - 24 Colors CLEVERHIPPO that meets all of the above requirements.
In addition, if while coloring the float, your child uses paint on his arms and legs, it's okay because the product is extremely safe and can be easily cleaned with water.
Step 4: Color the swimming float
The last step is to color the float. Parents can mix different colors with their children to create a very colorful swimming float. For animal-shaped floats, parents should explain to their children more about the inherent colors of that animal so they can understand more before allowing them to be creative. The swimming float can have one color, or even a multitude of colors, but you must paint carefully inside the drawn border, avoid painting outside, causing the float to become smudged and less aesthetically pleasing.
With the above 4 simple steps, you can color a swimming float with your child, turning a monotonous picture into a truly eye-catching one. During the painting process, children also understand more about the uses and how to use swimming floats through their parents' stories! Let's start working now and feel the joy of coloring!
