Is the weather outside too cold and yucky to send the kids outside to play and run off their energy? Are you tired of using your television as a babysitter? Well, maybe your budget is tight and taking a trip or buying some new toys aren’t feasible this week. Don’t worry. There are plenty of free coloring pages and connect the dots activities available to keep the boys and girls occupied for hours.

To take advantage of the free pages, you will need to have the internet and a printer. These items are in most homes today, so this shouldn’t be a problem. You can easily find free coloring pages and other activities by doing a search for them online. Do not get sucked into buying pages from companies eager to make a buck. So many kids’ activities are available for free that it simply doesn’t make sense to waste the cash.

I can’t think of a single child who doesn’t enjoy coloring. Instead of heading for Wal-Mart and wasting the expensive gas and valuable time, print pictures off at home right from your computer. With a little effort, you can find familiar favorites the kids will love. Pages are available from Disney or simply classics like bears, frogs, and butterflies.

Kids will love working on the free connect the dots pages. You can find these pages with numbers that seem fairly traditional, or letters for variety. Children who need to practice upper or lower case letters can practice these skills while having fun. For older children, cursive letters can be found, too.

These worksheets and coloring pages are perfect activities for kids to brush up on their skills while on the road. Print a couple of free connect the dots to use during your vacation or the next trip to the doctor’s office. You will know that your child is polishing skills while keeping busy and entertained.

Other coloring pages and connect the dots are available free that are Bible-based. If you run a Christian day care, these are fine options for the children. You can combine such free activity pages with a lesson or story. Also, many Sunday School teachers will find these coloring pages and connect the dots to be useful to share with their classes.

You will always be prepared to educate and entertain with free connect the dots and coloring pages. Just turn on the computer, do a quick search, and print. Keep a few pencils and crayons handy and you are set.
