A Cute & Calm Back-to-School Morning Activity 🖍️💕

Looking for something fun to help your students settle in, feel excited and get comfortable with desk work as they meet their new classmates? 🖍️

Try a page from the Cute Crayon Back-to-School Coloring Book!

Have crayons ready on each desk with a coloring page waiting, or pop a selection of pages on a central table so students can choose their favorite.

It’s simple, familiar and gives little hands something happy to do while everyone arrives and settles into their new classroom.

And there’s lots for teachers to notice, too!

As you wander around, chat with your students and observe their crayon grip, fine motor skills, persistence, work habits and color knowledge. It’s a lovely, low-pressure way to start getting to know your new class.

Then display their finished pages the next day with loads of praise and excitement for their careful work! 🌟

A little coloring, a little conversation, and a sweet start to feeling at home in a brand-new classroom. 💕
