What Wacky Wednesday Coloring Pages Do
The American Academy of Pediatrics has regularly connected structured coloring practice with fine motor skill development in youngsters ages 2 through 7. Pick the large objects in each scene for the youngest colorists and the many small oddities for older colorists.
A 2005 Art Therapy Journal paper described a measurable drop in anxiety after guided, structured coloring sessions. Hunting for the strange details keeps the mind on the page and off everything else.
Wacky Wednesday is a 1974 Beginner Books picture book written by Dr. Seuss under the pen name Theo. LeSieg and illustrated by George Booth, in which a morning gets wackier and wackier, with things such as a palm tree in the toilet and an earthworm chasing a bird.
How to Color Wacky Wednesday Pages Well
- Wacky details: color the out-of-place things in a bright color and the normal things in softer colors so the wackiness pops.
- Silly colors: this is a good place for purple grass and an orange sky, since the whole day is upside down.
- Rooms: light, warm colors for the walls and floors keep the busy furniture and objects easy to see.
- Outdoor scenes: layer greens and browns in the grass and trees, and use a soft blue for the sky.
- Search and color: circle each wacky thing in pencil first, then color it last.
