What Kikoriki Coloring Pages Do
The American Academy of Pediatrics has often linked coloring in a structured way with fine motor skill growth in young colorists of ages 2 through 7. Every character is built from simple round shapes that small hands fill in easily, so Kikoriki fits the younger end of the range well.
Measurable reductions in anxiety were seen after sessions of structured coloring, according to a 2005 Art Therapy Journal study. Soft, round forms and cheerful scenes are a good match for slow, quiet coloring.
Kikoriki, known in Russia as Smeshariki, is a Russian animated series about round animal friends, and this collection spans all nine of its main characters.
How to Color Kikoriki Pages Well
- Krash: a light cyan blue suits the rabbit, with a lighter shade on the ears and belly.
- Chiko and Rosa: magenta suits the hedgehog and pink suits the pig, which keeps the two friends clearly different on shared pages.
- Wally and Olga: lavender suits the sheep and purple suits the owl, so use a lighter purple for Wally and a deeper one for Olga.
- Dokko, Barry, and Pin: yellow suits the moose, orange suits the bear, and black with white suits the penguin.
- Carlin: A dark blue gives the crow a strong contrast against the brighter friends.
