What Piggly Wiggly Coloring Pages Do
The American Academy of Pediatrics has often paired coloring in a structured way with growth in fine motor skills in youngsters ages 2 to 7. To match age, go with single mascot portraits with big, clear shapes for little ones and busy store and sports scenes for older children.
Back in 2005, the Art Therapy Journal included a report on measurable anxiety reductions after structured coloring activities. The stripes of the apron and the details in each holiday outfit promote a settled, concentrated mood.
Piggly Wiggly was founded by Clarence Saunders on September 6, 1916, in Memphis, Tennessee, and is considered the first true self-service grocery store.
How to Color Piggly Wiggly Pages Well
- The mascot: a soft pink for the skin and a deeper pink for the ears and snout, with a white cap and apron.
- Holiday pages: red and green for Christmas and Santa, orange and black for Halloween, and pastels for Easter.
- Sports uniforms: pick two team colors and repeat them on the shirt, shorts, and shoes.
- Produce and food: bright reds, greens, and yellows for tomatoes, fruit, and vegetables.
- Lettered pages: bold colors on the large letters, and a lighter shade for the outline.
