What Up Coloring Pages Do
The American Academy of Pediatrics considers better fine motor coordination as a core benefit when kids from 2 to 7 years old engage in structured coloring practice. The set serves little ones through single Dug, Kevin, and Russell pages and older colorists through the group and jungle scenes.
A 2005 Art Therapy Journal study confirmed measurable anxiety reductions following structured coloring activities. Round balloons and the soft shapes of the characters turn coloring into a steady, absorbing routine.
Up is a 2009 Pixar film directed by Pete Docter, released in the United States on May 29, 2009, that follows Carl Fredricksen as he flies his house to South America with balloons, and it won Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score.
How to Color Up Pages Well
- Balloons: Use every color of the rainbow for the balloons, with a small white highlight on each one.
- Kevin: bright blues, purples, and pinks for the feathers, with a yellow beak and orange legs.
- Dug: a golden brown for the fur with a lighter belly, and a bright color for the collar.
- Russell: a khaki scout uniform with a sash, and add colorful badges on the sash.
- Jungle scenes: layer two or three greens for the leaves, with a blue sky and a splash of waterfall.
